Description: Loyalty is a highly charged and important issue often evoking strong feelings and actions. What is loyalty? Is loyalty compatible with impartiality? How do we respond to conflicts of loyalties? In a global era should we be trying to transcend loyalties to particular political communities? Drawing on a fascinating array of literary and cinematic examples - The Remains of the Day No Country for Old Men The English Patient The Third Man and more - Troy Jollimore expertly unravels the phenomenon of loyalty from a philosophical standpoint. He reflects on the idea that loyalty shapes our very identities and considers both the benefits and the dangers of loyalty: on the one hand how excessive loyalty can move us to perform immoral even evil actions; one the other how loyalty can expand our lives and give us a sense of meaning and belonging.
