Description
The Cambridge Companion to Virtue Ethics by Daniel C. Russell provides a comprehensive overview of virtue ethics, one of the fastest-growing fields in contemporary ethics. This volume of newly commissioned essays explores the theoretical structure of virtue ethics and its place in modern moral theory. Leading moral philosophers examine the history of virtue-based approaches to ethics, what sets these approaches apart, and their implications for practical issues. The Companion also considers where virtue ethics is likely to develop in the future. Suitable for students of philosophy and those interested in understanding the evolution of contemporary moral philosophy, this book offers a valuable insight into the development of virtue ethics.
