Literary Studies and Human Flourishing (The Humanities and Human Flourishing) by James F. English, Heather Love
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.5 MB
Overview: The Humanities and Human Flourishing series publishes edited volumes that explore the role of human flourishing in the central disciplines of the humanities, and whether and how the humanities can increase human happiness.
The contributors to this volume of essays investigate the question: what do literary scholars contribute to social scientific research on human happiness and flourishing?
Of all humanities disciplines, none is more resistant to the program of positive psychology or the prevailing discourse of human flourishing than literary studies. The approach taken in this volume of essays is neither to gloss over that antagonism nor to launch a series of blasts against positive psychology and the happiness industry. Rather, the contributors reflect on how their literary research–work to which they are personally committed–might become part of an interdisciplinary conversation about human flourishing.
