Description

Argues that the ability to imagine oneself as another person is an indispensable human capacity - as essential to moral awareness as it is to literary appreciation - and that this talent for identification is the same as the talent for metaphor. This title offers an original meditation on the necessity of imagination to moral and aesthetic life.
