![]() I rely on an interpretation of AHF that is influential in literary scholarship. This lesson concerns the importance of conscious moral deliberation for moral guidance and for overcoming wrongful moral assumptions. I extract a different philosophical lesson from AHF than either Bennett or Arpaly, which makes sense of the presence of the evasion in AHF. During the evasion Huck behaves in ways that are extremely difficult to reconcile with the interpretations of AHF offered by Bennett and Arpaly. This becomes particularly apparent when we consider the final part of the book, commonly referred to, by literary scholars, as 'the evasion'. Here I argue that the lessons that Bennett and Arpaly draw are not supported by a careful reading of AHF. Two of these philosophers stand out, in terms of influence: Jonathan Bennett and Nomy Arpaly.
