Devoting one main chapter to each facet of McCarthy's thought - his metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, respectively - the study engages in focused readings of all of McCarthy's major works. Along the way, the study brings McCarthy's ideas into conversation with a host of philosophers who range from Plato to Alain Badiou, with figures such as William James, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Slavoj Žižek featured prominently. Situated at the crossroads of literary studies, literary theory, cultural studies, continental philosophy, and theology, the appeal of Cormac McCarthy's Philosophy is widespread and deeply interdisciplinary. .American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,2634-5803AmericaLiteraturesLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryNorth American LiteratureTwentieth-Century LiteratureContemporary LiteratureAmericaLiteratures.Literature, ModernLiterature, ModernNorth American Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Contemporary Literature.813.54Hawkins Tyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058274BOOK9910255068003321Cormac McCarthy’s Philosophy2498476UNINA
