This book introduces narrative justice, a new theory of aesthetic
education - the thesis that the cultivation of aesthetic or
artistic sensibility can both improve moral character and achieve
political justice. The author argues that there is a subcategory of
narrative representations that provide moral knowledge regardless
of their categorisation as fiction or non-fiction, and which
therefore can be employed as a means of moral improvement. McGregor
applies this narrative ethics to the criminology of inhumanity,
including both crimes against humanity and terrorism. Expanding on
the methodology of narrative criminology, he demonstrates that
narrative representations can be employed to evaluate
responsibility for inhumanity, to understand the psychology of
inhumanity, and to undermine inhumanity - and are thus a means to
the end of opposing injustice. He concludes that the cultivation of
narrative sensibility is an important tool for both moral
improvement and political justice.
