Though James Joyce was steeped in philosophy and humanism, he has
received too little attention from contemporary philosophers in
comparison to many of the other titans of modernist fiction. This
book probes the possibilities for thinking philosophically about
Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, presenting readings by renowned
scholars such David Hills, Garry L. Hagberg, Vicki Mahaffey, Martha
C. Nussbaum, Sam Slote, Wendy J. Truran, and Philip Kitcher, who
also provides an introduction to the volume that considers broader
themes and situates Ulysses as a work of philosophical interest.
For the central characters of Ulysses-Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom,
and Stephen Dedalus, "How to live?" is an urgent question. Each
must either start anew, or attempt to recover lost paths. Chapters
plumb the depths of the philosophical quandaries that present
themselves to these characters-reflections on death and overcoming
disgust, Leopold Bloom's evocations of conscious thought, the
dominance of vision in our thinking about the senses, identity, and
the possibility of revising one's values are only a handful of the
subjects covered in the volume. Ulysses is an intrinsically and
deeply philosophical work, and these readings provide new inroads
and firm orientation for Joyce's project. Readers will come away
with renewed appreciation for one of our greatest works of
literature in the English language, and deepened understanding of
Joyce's attempt to offer alternative ways of structuring and
enriching the world of our experience.
