Recent philosophical discussion about the relation between fiction
and reality pays little attention to our moral involvement with
literature. Frank Palmer's purpose is to investigate how our
appreciation of literary works calls upon and develops our capacity
for moral understanding. He explores a wide range of philosophical
questions about the relation of art to morality, and challenges
theories that he regards as incompatible with a humane view of
literary art. Palmer considers, in particular, the extent to which
the values and moral concepts involved in our understanding of
human beings can be said to enter into our understanding of, and
response to, fictional characters. The scope of his discussion
encompasses literary aesthetics, ethics, and epistemology, and he
makes extensive reference to literary examples.
