Description
The last four decades have seen a remarkable revival of interest in the virtues, which lay at the heart of ancient and medieval moral philosophy. This collection is the first general survey of this revival, containing specially commissioned articles on topics central to virtue ethics and virtue theory, written by a distinguished international team of philosophers. It represents the state of the art in this subject, and will set the agenda for future work. Topics covered in How Should One Live? include: practical virtue ethics, ancient views of the virtues, impartiality and partiality, Kant and the virtues, utilitarianism and the virtues, the virtues and human nature, natural and artificial virtues, virtue and the good life, the vices, virtue and the emotions, virtue and politics, feminism, moral education, and the virtues, and virtue and community.
