Product Information
This collection is a comprehensive scholarly treatment of the breadth of the virtues and their competing vices. Each of the essays in the volume not only covers the basics with respect to their topics, but also advances the discussion and debate concerning the understanding and role of the virtues. Sections focus on the cardinal virtues, the capital vices and corrective virtues, intellectual virtues, and the theological virtues, while the final section discusses the role virtues play in a number of related disciplines, ranging from theology and political theory to neurobiology and feminism. The treatment of the virtues in this present volume is sensitive to the historical heritage of the virtues, including their theological heritage, without paying undue attention to the historical and theological issues. Virtues and Their Vices engages contemporary philosophical scholarship as well as relevant scholarship from related disciplines throughout.Product Identifiers
