Description

Virtue Ethics brings together some of the most influential work in this field over the last four decades. This collection explores the ethics of virtue as a rival to other approaches to morality, such as Kantian and utilitarian theories. The volume is divided into four sections, featuring articles that critique other traditions, early attempts to develop a positive vision of virtue ethics, later criticisms of its revival, and more recent, theoretically ambitious essays. This comprehensive collection provides a valuable insight into the development and current state of virtue ethics in moral philosophy. With 284 pages, this paperback edition offers an accessible introduction to this important area of study.
