Annotation |
Beginning with a discussion of what he calls the themes of paranoia and metanoia in George Eliot’s Middlemarch, Mackenzie turns to Weil’s concept of attention as it is expressed in the work of Iris Murdoch, and Nel Noddings, together with the Martha Nussbaum’s view of compassion to offer a response to what he describes as the “ill-effects of performativity in education” as well as “the general insecurities of the times” (p. 1). |
