Zusatztext This was a fascinating book to read! and I can hardly do justice to all of its arguments here. For those who work in philosophy of law as well as virtue ethics! this is a worthwhile collection of complex essays. Overall the book makes a valuable contribution to a virtue-oriented approach to legal theory. Informationen zum Autor Amalia Amaya is British Academy Global Professor at the School of Law, University of Edinburgh and Research Professor of Philosophy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Ho Hock Lai is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at the National University of Singapore. As a collection, this is a highly informative, always interesting and richly diversified body of research, engaged with vital questions especially of criminal law, but also of many other areas in ethics and law, including client confidentiality, legal moralism and paternalism. It also includes an instructive comparison between western and Confucian theories in this area of jurisprudence. Many concrete issues and controversies are discussed and illustrated with real and imaginary cases, such as euthanasia, prostitution and racial and sex discrimination. Overall, whether one is convinced or not, the project of developing the case for virtue jurisprudence is well served by this book.Mark TebbitNotre Dame Philosophical ReviewsJune 2013 Zusammenfassung In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in virtue theory among legal scholars. 'Virtue jurisprudence' has emerged as a serious candidate for a theory of law and adjudication. This book explores the relevance of virtue theory to law from a variety of perspectives.
