Description

Virtue Ethics for the Real World: Improving Character without Idealization by Howard J. Curzer offers a fresh approach to character improvement. Traditional virtue ethics often relies on idealized traits, but Curzer argues that these ideals can be misleading and even harmful. Instead, he proposes a more nuanced theory that acknowledges the complexities of everyday life. This book presents a practical guide to improving character, drawing on insights from medicine and philosophy. Curzer's approach involves diagnosing individual character flaws and tailoring treatment plans to address them. He provides a detailed framework for understanding the components of character and their corresponding therapies.
