This book offers the first comprehensive investigation of ethics in
the canon of William Faulkner. As the fundamental framework for its
analysis of Faulkner's fiction, this study draws on The Methods of
Ethics, the magnum opus of the utilitarian philosopher Henry
Sidgwick. While Faulkner's Ethics does not claim that Faulkner read
Sidgwick's work, this book traces Faulkner's moral sensitivity. It
argues that Faulkner's language is a moral medium that captures the
ways in which people negotiate the ethical demands that life places
on them. Tracing the contours of this evolving medium across six of
the author's major novels, it explores the basic precepts set out
in The Methods of Ethics with the application of more recent
contributions to moral philosophy, especially those of Jacques
Derrida and Derek Parfit.
