| Summary |
This volume brings together much of the strongest and most influential work undertaken in the field of virtue ethics over the last four decades. Divided into four sections, it includes articles critical of other traditions; early attempts to offer a positive vision of virtue ethics; some later criticisms of the revival of virtue ethics; and, finally, some recent, more theoretically ambitious essays in virtue ethics. |
