The Debate between Posner and Nussbaum and the Theoretical Construction of Ethical Literary Criticism.

Since the difference between Western ethical criticism and ethical literary criticism has not been clarified, some arguments from the debate between Posner and Nussbaum on ethical criticism are prone to be extended to the discussion on ethical literary criticism. it is important to note that the debate does not really focus on ethical literary criticism but rather addresses the qualifications and responsibilities of literary criticism in the public sphere. Furthermore, it raises concerns regarding intellectual identity transformation and the resulting crisis in ethics of criticism. Although this debate is not directly related to ethical literary criticism, it provides valuable insights for further refining the theoretical framework of ethical literary criticism. As a socially engaged branch of literary theory, ethical literary criticism can address unresolved issues raised by this debate through a deeper exploration of its concept of "literary market." In response to challenges of identity transformation in liberal studies, intellectuals may find new solutions through embracing ethical literary criticism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
