The Character Sketch as Philosophy: Manners, Mores, Types
Katie Ebner-Landy
Katie Ebner-Landy shows that early modern Europeans, inspired by the ancient philosopher Theophrastus, embraced the character sketch as a source of moral and political education. Yet Enlightenment thinkers spurned this genre in favor of elaborating principles, thereby helping to drive a wedge between philosophy and literature.
