Containing classical texts and groundbreaking contemporary essays, it reprints some of the great pivotal pieces that showcase the theory's appeal. Unlike other readers, it represents both the Aristotelian and sentiment-based virtue traditions. It is high time we had such a unique and useful collection available.” \u003ci\u003eRachel Cohon, The University at Albany, State University of New York \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c!--end--\u003e \u003cb\u003eStephen Darwall\u003c\/b\u003e is the John Dewey Collegiate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan. He has written widely on moral philosophy and its history, and is the author of \u003ci\u003eImpartial Reason\u003c\/i\u003e (1983), \u003ci\u003eThe British Moralists and the Internal 'Ought': 1640–1740\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), and \u003ci\u003eWelfare and Rational Care\u003c\/i\u003e (2002).

Philosophers who seek an alternative to the main deontological and consequentialist traditions in modern moral theory have looked to this perspective, especially in the last twenty years. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVirtue Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e collects, for the first time, the main classical sources and the central contemporary expressions of this increasingly important tradition. In addition to Aristotle, the classical source of \"nonmoral\" virtue theory, it includes the esteem-based virtue ethics of Francis Hutcheson and David Hume. Contemporary virtue ethicists included are Philippa Foot, John McDowell, Alasdair MacIntyre, Annette Baier, Rosalind Hursthouse, and Michael Slote. There is also an important discussion of character and virtue by Gary Watson. Edited and introduced by Stephen Darwall, these readings are essential for anyone interested in normative theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990455894245,"sku":"NP9780631231141","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631231141.jpg?v=1761787902","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/virtue-ethics-isbn-9780631231141","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
