J.M. Coetzee and Ethics: A Philosophical Exploration of Literature This collection brings together a range of contributors who explore J.M. Coetzee's approach to ethical theory and philosophy, focusing particularly on his representation of the human-animal relationship. The authors examine Coetzee's depiction of key issues such as morality, equality, and the suppression of life. Through a close analysis of Coetzee's extensive corpus, including his novels and essays, this volume offers a nuanced understanding of his philosophical ideas and their relevance to literature. With its wide-ranging consideration of philosophical issues, particularly in relation to fiction, this book provides a unique perspective on Coetzee's work and its enduring significance. By probing the intersections between ethics, philosophy, and literature, this collection sheds new light on Coetzee's thought-provoking ideas and their continued relevance today.
