Description

Explore profound philosophical questions through the demonic tradition in Western literature with this incisive study by Ewan Fernie. The Demonic examines humanity's most intimate struggles: the tension between good and evil, forbidden desire, and the boundaries of personal autonomy and connection. Drawing on masterworks from Luther, Shakespeare, Hegel, Dostoevsky, Melville and Mann, Fernie reveals how literary explorations of the demonic illuminate the contradictions and agonies of human experience. This scholarly work bridges classical drama criticism and contemporary philosophy, offering readers deeper insight into why we are drawn to transgression, why possession and desiring others creates ethical dilemmas, and how literature helps us understand the darker impulses within ourselves. Published by Routledge, this book serves as both a critical analysis and a meditation on how great writers have grappled with moral ambiguity and the psychological complexities of human nature.
