Summary<\/em><\/p>\n We can be divided in feeling within ourselves\u2014we often have \u2018mixed feelings\u2019\u2014and divided from others who feel differently than we do about some issue or situation. The intrapersonal case is interesting because it does not seem that differences of belief could explain the mixed feelings. Perhaps disagreement in belief is also not always the best explanation for differences in feeling between people. I want in part to think about why and how we are able to take mixed feelings on board within our own lives, while divergence in feeling from others can create great \u2018distance\u2019 and, sometimes, a sense that we do not make sense to each other. Difference in feeling can make someone feel \u2018farther away\u2019, it seems, than sheer disagreement in belief. Is the intrapersonal case helpful in conceiving of how we are divided from others by feeling? Are we responsible for trying to lessen felt distance from others? I will approach these questions in part by considering how they are handled in J. M. Coetzee\u2019s\u00a0The Lives of Animals<\/em>.<\/p>\n The seminar will be held at the Open University\u2019s campus at Walton Hall, in Wilson A, Meeting Room 05, from 2pm \u2013 4pm.<\/p>\n
