| Summary: | In our time, philosophers have tried to distance themselves from stories and narrative, while literary critics have tried to divorce themselves from morals. Morals and stories have been separated as a result, and their obvious connections ignored. Tobin Sieber's essay insists that morals and stories are inseparable and that literature should have a place in our thinking about the world. The book holds that literature is a form of knowledge about moral character and how it fits into the social world, and that we may use stories to build character and to transform it.
