Poetic Justice
Kolednjak, Marijana (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2024)
The well-know and highly American philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum explores the role of literature, especially the novel, in shaping moral imagination and ethical judgment. The main thesis of theis article is that reading literature contributes to the development of empathy and the ability to see different perspectives, which is essential for fair decisionmaking in public and political life. Nussbaum argues that the literary imagination is essential to the formation of “just judges” in a democratic society. Novels, in her opinion, allow readers to identify with the characters and their circumstances, thus developing the ability to understand the needs, sufferings and lives of other people. Such empathy empowers morally informed decision-making, which is sensitive to human vulnerability and diversity.
