{"product_id":"the-ethical-detective-rachel-haliburton-9781498536820","title":"The Ethical Detective: Moral Philosophy and Detective Fiction","description":"Detective fiction and philosophy3\/4moral philosophy in particular3\/4may seem like an odd combination. Working within the framework offered by neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics, this book makes the case that moral philosophers ought to take murder mysteries seriously, seeing them as a source of ethical insight, and as a tool that can be used to spark the ethical imagination. Detective fiction is a literary genre that asks readers to consider questions of good and evil, justice and injustice, virtue and vice, and is, consequently, a profoundly and inescapably ethical genre. Moreover, in the figure of the detective, readers are presented with an accessible role model who demonstrates the virtues of honesty, courage, and a commitment to justice that are required by those who want to live well as a virtue ethicist would understand it. This book also offers a critique of contemporary moral philosophy, and considers what features a neo-Aristotelian conception of autonomy might display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Haliburton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498536824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498536820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Rachel Haliburton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450267300095,"sku":"9781498536820","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2ce6b7d-cc8a-42bd-a51b-e1ae99c421a7.jpg?v=1698503809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethical-detective-rachel-haliburton-9781498536820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
