Description
Summary:Javier de Lucas integrated literature in many of his works. Although this is not the central object of his reflections, the truth is that both his understanding of law and justice and the teaching exposition of the same are crossed by literature. From Jonathan Swift to Abdulrazak Gurnah, from Albert Camus to Harper Lee, there is a whole series of recurring quotes and passages in the work of the expert philosopher on issues on which literary fiction shed light where scientific prose was not enough, thus the idea of solidarity, of dignity, the figure of the other, of the different. This work traces the presence of literature in the work of Javier de Lucas as well as proposes some keys on his conception of culture.
