Opis

Fitzpatrick presents an examination of how psychological ethics apply to the imagination, exploring how our obligation to the other extends to our most intimate spaces. The book imagines an ethical theory, informed by Jung and Levinas, which can negotiate the boundary between inner and outer, personal and collective fantasy.
