Philosophical Approaches to Cormac McCarthy - Bog

This book explores the role of philosophy in the works of Cormac McCarthy, significantly expanding the scope of philosophical inquiry into his writings. Essays center on various philosophical themes including violence, war, nature, history, materiality, and the environment. Emphasizing the form of McCarthy¿s texts, they attend to the ways in which his language affects a philosophy of its own, beyond the thematic content of his narratives. This book will appeal to scholars working in the rapidly-growing field of McCarthy Studies, Philosophy and Literature, and a range of philosophers working on problems in ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, Philosophy of Nature, and Philosophy of Film.
