Virtue as Identity offers a study of how virtue is learned and
identity acquired through the selection and internalization of
values. A large part of this process is externally imposed through
culture. Another, perhaps more important part of the process is the
result of individual and collective sensibilities. The book
emphasizes the role of emotions and emotional sensibility in our
choice of values. The book re-affirms traditional morality as the
foundation of our individual and collective identities. The author
argues that emotions as well as rational decisions guide the value
choices we make and the ideals of character that we presuppose on a
political level as much as they do in our private lives. Thus the
societies we live in are a reflection of our identities, or the
identities of the majority. This opens up radical questions about
the identities of the dissenting minorities, the proper concept of
a moral or value-community, and the real reach and value of
tolerance in modern democracy.
