The Self in Moral Space: Life Narrative and the Good explores how our moral understanding of the good shapes our identities and life stories. Building on the work of philosopher Charles Taylor and others, David Parker examines classic and contemporary autobiographies — including those of St. Augustine, William Wordsworth, Friedrich Nietzsche, Roland Barthes, Seamus Heaney, and J. M. Coetzee — to uncover why life narratives matter for understanding how a human being should live.
