Title: Causal Explanation in Hemingway and Honderich
Author/Creator: Mike W. Martin
Publication Details: Memoir Ethics: Good Lives and the Virtues, pp.76-83
Annotation: Comparison study of the moral philosophy underlying the memoirs of Hemingway and Ted Honderich. Focusing on Hemingway s causal explanation for his adultery in A Moveable Feast and A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition, Martin argues that both versions rely on a luck-based morality that resides outside of individual control yet enables the individual to change the perspective of their circumstances. Concludes that Honderich rejects Hemingway s emphasis on luck in favor of a more deterministic view in his Philosopher: A Kind of Life (2000). Briefly discusses morality based on personal value found in De Waal s memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes (2010).
