Ethics in British Children's Literature explores the extent to which contemporary writing for children might be considered philosophical, tackling ethical spheres relevant to and arising from books for young people, such as naughtiness, good and evil, family life and environmental ethics. Rigorously engaging with influential moral philosophers, from Aristotle, through Kant and Hegel, to Arno Leopold, Iris Murdoch, Mary Midgley and Lars Svendsen, this book demonstrates the narrative strategies employed to engage young readers as moral agents. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ethics in literature. 650 7 $a Children's literature, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855967 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180203050940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F7ADB14A36B11E3A3DF8D90DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
