SUMMARY:The Cost of Conviction in John Williams's Stoner

DESCRIPTION:<p>I argue that given a plausible reading of John Williams&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;Stoner&nbsp\;(1965) the novel throws light on the demands and cost of pursuing a strategy for self-realisation along Platonic lines which seeks unification through the adoption of a single exclusive end in a manner that emulates the Socratic maieutic teacher. The novel does not explicitly argue either for or against such a strategy but rather vividly depicts its difficulties\, appeal\, and limitations thus leaving the ultimate evaluation up to the reader.</p>
