Beskrivning
A compelling exploration of the convergence of Jane Austen’s literary themes and characters with David Hume’s views on morality and human nature.
- Argues that the normative perspectives endorsed in Jane Austen''s novels are best characterized in terms of a Humean approach, and that the merits of Hume''s account of ethical, aesthetic and epistemic virtue are vividly illustrated by Austen''s writing.
- Illustrates how Hume and Austen complement one another, each providing a lens that allows us to expand and elaborate on the ideas of the other
- Proposes that literature may serve as a thought experiment, articulating hypothetical cases which allow the reader to test her moral intuitions
- Contributes to ongoing debates on the philosophy of literature, ethics, and emotion
