LOVES KNOWLEDGE - MARTHA C NUSSBAUM KARTONIERT ...

This volume brings together Martha Nussbaum's published papers  some revised for this
collection  on the relationship between literature and philosophy  especially moral philosophy.
It also includes two new essays and a substantial Introduction. The papers  many of them
previously not readily available to non-specialist readers  explore such fundamental issues as
the relationship between style and content in the exploration of ethical questions  the nature
of ethical attention and ethical knowledge and their relationship to written forms and style 
and the role of the emotions in deliberation and self-knowledge. The author investigates and
defends a conception of ethical understanding which involves emotional as well as intellectual
activity  and which gives a certain type of priority to the perception of particular people and
situations rather than to abstract rule.
