Much of the work that has been done on virtue has been devoted to
getting virtue ethics a seat at the theoretical table. It has been
concerned with showing that virtue ethics can provide a
satisfactory account of right action to rival accounts offered by
consequentialism and deontology. This volume of essays explores the
nitty-gritty details of particular virtues. It includes original
contributions from a number of leading scholars in virtue ethics.
Most of the virtues discussed - such as ambition, cheerfulness,
creativity, magnificence, pride, wit, and wonder - have been almost
wholly neglected by contemporary ethicists. The volume also
includes coverage of other virtues that have received a fair amount
of attention in recent years, such as charity, hope, justice,
practical wisdom, and temperance. Here the essays address largely
ignored dimensions of these virtues and show how these discussions
can enrich our understanding of neglected virtues. Neglected
Virtues is a welcome addition to the scholarly literature on virtue
ethics. Its focus on individual virtues, while not meant to be
exhaustive, will open new avenues for future research in this
rapidly growing area of ethics and moral philosophy.
