Ethics in Ishiguro's work is structured around the tension between the limits of the characters' agency and their striving towards the good. Ishiguro's novels are shown to tackle fundamental questions posed by ancient Greek philosophers, especially Plato, and modern Western ones, from Adam Smith through Jean-Paul Sartre to Martha Nussbaum. What is the human soul? What is dignity? What does it mean to be human? These issues are expressed in his narrative world through the universal and timeless language of myths, allegories and images that are both ancient and modern as well as cross-cultural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Colombino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032660678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032660677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Laura Colombino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46906684834047,"sku":"9781032660677","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc35e8cd-f01f-47b8-a2cf-af5b372fb596.jpg?v=1748771124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kazuo-ishiguro-and-ethics-laura-colombino-9781032660677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
