Memoir Ethics

Memoir Ethics: Good Lives and the Virtues is a philosophical study of moral themes in memoirs. It explores how memoirists present and defend perspectives on good lives. Particular attention is paid to the interplay of the virtues including their interplay with additional (non moral) types of values in good lives. More generally it explores the relevance of memoir to moral philosophy and in turn how moral philosophy enters into elucidating and critiquing memoirs.
