Description
Joseph Conrad and Ethics offers a thorough analysis of the author's ethical perspective in twentieth-century fiction. This volume challenges current scholarly discussions by providing an in-depth examination of Conrad's representation of ethics through various philosophical lenses. The authors explore how Conrad navigates the complexities of ethics and morality, highlighting the interconnectedness of ethics and aesthetics, narrative, and ideology. They examine key issues such as the ethics of storytelling and readership, ethical commitment and detachment, and planetary ethics and disillusionment. Conrad's ambivalence towards ethics is a central theme in this volume, which demonstrates that he adopts a planetary ethics that acknowledges human universality while doubting the viability of ethics itself.
