Abstract

Ernest Miller Hemingway is widely recognized as one of the most influential writers in the United States. This study examines For Whom the Bell Tolls through the lens of Kwame Anthony Appiah’s cosmopolitan ethics, aiming to explore the work’s profound ethical dimensions. Grounded in the theoretical framework of cosmopolitan ethics, the study investigates the construction of universalist ethics within the novel. Appiah contends that universal values exist in human society and serve as crucial points of connection for both the human world and cosmopolitan thought. By analyzing the experiences of the novel’s characters, this research identifies the universal values embedded in the narrative and argues that the novel primarily embodies the values of peace, equality, and solidarity.
