The Godfather III as an Essay in Long-Arc Ethical Understanding, Garry L. Hagberg.  aThere has been a steady stream of articles written on the relations between ethics and the interpretation of literature, but there remains a need for a book that both introduces and significantly contributes to the field – particularly one that shows how we can think more openly and creatively about the multiform powers of ethical narrative by considering ethically significant literature. This volume offers an analytically acute and culturally rich way of understanding how it is that we can productively think philosophically about the narrative structures that describe our ethical lives and what kind of distinctive conceptual, and in some cases personal, progress we can make by doing so. Given the extremely widespread interest in ethical issues, this volume will strike resonant chords far and wide on arrival, while offering something new in bringing together the study of long-form narrative, the language of moral psychology, and detailed literary case studies. Given the vast expansion of narrative studies in recent years, the time for just such a volume is right. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature. He is presently completing three new books: Consciousness Portrayed: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Literature; The Mind on Screen: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Film; and Art and Meaning: On Artworks and their Implications. 0aAesthetics.964000 0aEthics.958934 0aLiteraturexAesthetics.96928014aAesthetics.96400024aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.96641024aLiterary Aesthetics.9692821 aHagberg, Garry L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9771292 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303158432908iPrinted edition:z978303158434308iPrinted edition:z978303158435040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58433-6  aZDB-2-REP  aZDB-2-SXPR  c61397d61397
