Cultivating Virtue - Perspectives From Philosophy, Theology, and Psychology

Zusatztext Until fairly recently, the philosophical literature on the virtues has paid insufficient attention to formational questions. Cultivating Virtue takes a big step toward filling that lacuna, and admirably provides both guidance and inspiration for those interested in continuing the project. The volume warrants careful attention from scholars within and beyond the three disciplines represented therein, and its range, depth, and accessibility fit it for both upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in virtue ethics, comparative ethics, moral psychology, and more. Moreover, its formative insights hold out the very real prospects of helping readers to pursue and attain greater virtue. I highly recommend it. Informationen zum Autor Nancy E. Snow is Professor of Philosophy at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her research interests are in virtue ethics and moral psychology. Her most recent book is Virtue Intelligence: An Empirically Grounded Theory (New York: Routledge, 2010). Klappentext Virtue ethics enjoys a resurgence, yet the topic of virtue cultivation has been largely neglected. This volume remedies this gap, featuring mostly new essays, commissioned for this collection, by philosophers, theologians, and psychologists at the forefront of research into virtue.
