In an original study, Patrick Colm Hogan brings the insights of global comparative literature to bear on central issues of ethics. A compelling, narrative-based explanation of humans' otherwise baffling array of ethical attitudes, this book also offers a thought-provoking defence of particular ethical norms, based on a re-understanding of empathy.
