Description
The Four Cardinal Virtues by Josef Pieper is a thought-provoking collection of essays that explore the significance of the Christian virtues in contemporary morality. Pieper argues that the emphasis on moderation has led to a hollowing out of moral values, and seeks to revive the importance of these timeless principles.
Through his analysis, Pieper reveals the true nature of the four cardinal virtues - prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude - and demonstrates their relevance in modern life. This book is an important contribution to the discussion of virtue ethics, and will be of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of moral values.
First published in 1966, The Four Cardinal Virtues remains a valuable work of philosophical scholarship that continues to inspire new generations of thinkers and scholars.
