Description
Character by Joel J. Kupperman explores the concept of character and its significance in ethical behavior. Despite being a fundamental aspect of human nature, philosophers have largely overlooked the role of character in moral decision-making. Kupperman argues that traditional ethical theories, such as Kantianism and utilitarianism, fail to account for the long-term integration of decisions, instead providing a snapshot model of moral choice. This book offers an alternative approach, one that considers the development of character over time and its impact on our moral lives. Through a critical examination of various philosophical perspectives, Kupperman develops his own theory of character and its relationship to personal identity, happiness, and the pursuit of a valuable life.
