this engagingly written book. Connie S Rosati, Philosophy 71. I really enjoyed his literary-ethical exploration of Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. These portions of the book contain much that should interest those seeking more effective ways of teaching moral philosophy. Connie S Rosati, Philosophy, 71. an interesting but eccentric book ... I have gone on at length about the aesthetic theory of virtue because, for me, it is one of the book's most arresting claims. If this is the kind of provocative thesis that you enjoy, then Ethics, Evil, and fiction, despite (or maybe because of) its quirks, is worth reading. Nancy E. Snow, International Philosophical Quarterly A book which I hope will start a new fashion ... it has all the qualities modern philosophical writing tends to lack. I found it substantial, absorbing and relevant. Times Higher Education Supplement Evocative and thought-provoking. Times Literary Supplement
