The revival of Aristotelian virtue ethics can be seen as a response
to the modern problem of disenchantment, that is, the perceived
loss of meaning in modernity. However, in Virtue and Meaning, David
McPherson contends that the dominant approach still embraces an
overly disenchanted view. In a wide-ranging discussion, McPherson
argues for a more fully re-enchanted perspective that gives better
recognition to the meanings by which we live and after which we
seek, and to the fact that human beings are the meaning-seeking
animal. In doing so, he defends distinctive accounts of the
relationship between virtue and happiness, other-regarding demands,
and the significance of linking neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics with
a view of the meaning of life and a spiritual life where
contemplation has a central role. This book will be valuable for
philosophers and other readers who are interested in virtue ethics
and the perennial question of the meaning of life.
