The Bell has three important passages from which the moral analysis of the novel could start. These are the three sermons, which are directly presented to the reader: James’s, Michael’s, and Nick’s. A sermon is a speech in which someone advises other people how they should behave in order to be better; it is a moral lecture which tries to edify the listener. There are two types of sermon: religious (like James’s and Michael’s) and non-religious (like Nick’s). In this novel there are other moral speeches which should also be considered. However, only the three moral speeches referred to above are called ‘sermons’ in The Bell – which has nothing to do with their religious character, in so far as Nick’s is non-religious. The idea that the three moral speeches which are called ‘sermons’ are in some way more important than the others will be considered. Hence, our planned moral analysis of The Bell starts from the moral analysis of these three sermons. In this paper they will be analysed and compared, which hopefully will enable us to carry out an overall moral analysis of the whole novel.
This paper aims to show that Nick’s sermon contains a moral proposal as important as, and different from, James’s and Michael’s sermons. The three sermons contain a concrete conception of human nature, the good man, etc. Hence, we would like to argue that Nick’s sermon should not be ignored from the moral point of view in a moral reading of The Bell. This paper has two parts. First, the sermons will be analysed in chronological order, focusing on their moral proposal. Second, the moral conception of each sermon will be examined, focusing on the similarities and differences between them. After this, we should be able to assess whether the moral reading of The Bell upheld here is adequate. If so, further work will be necessary: relating this moral reading of The Bell to Iris Murdoch’s philosophical moral proposal.
Nancy E. Snow rightly takes the situationist challenge seriously. Her Virtue as Social Intelligence: An Empirically Grounded Theory reports that contemporary virtue ethics remains largely divorced from psychology, and thus is vulnerable to the philosophical situationist challenge. Snow is devoted to solving this problem by articulating an empirically grounded theory of virtue, which is used to respond to the philosophical situationists’ scepticism.
