These and similar depictions can be found across a range of media, and in varying degrees of detail and realism. Fictional Immorality and Immoral Fiction examines potential conditions for transforming fictional immorality into immoral fiction, in order to establish what makes a depiction of fictional immorality and\/or one’s engagement with it immoral. To achieve this aim, Garry Young analyzes fictional content, its meaning, one’s motivation for engaging with it, and the medium in which the fiction is presented (such as film, literature, theatre, video games) using philosophical inquiry. The end result is a systematic examination of fictional immorality, which contributes toward debates on the morality of depicting and engaging with fictional immorality, as well as the reach of censorship and other forms of prohibition, especially when the act depicted is of the kind that would be most egregious if carried out in reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Fictional Immorality and Immoral Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2The Metaphysics of Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3The Content of Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4The Meaning of Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5The Harm of Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6Is There Evidence of Harm?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7Enjoying Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8Resisting Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9Poor Taste and Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10Historical Fictional and Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11A New Kind of Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12Fantasy and Fictional Immorality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13“It’s not immoral, but it is in poor taste”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14Immoral Fiction and Censorship\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042675294551,"sku":"9781793639196","price":80.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793639196.jpg?v=1750955126","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fictional-immorality-and-immoral-fiction-9781793639196","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
