In the United States, there exists increasing uneasiness about
the predominance of self-interest in both public and private life,
growing fear about the fragmentation and privatization of American
society, mounting concerns about the effects of
institutions--ranging from families to schools to the media--on the
character of young people, and a renewed tendency to believe that
without certain traditional virtues neither public leaders nor
public policies are likely to succeed. In this thirty-fourth volume
in "The American Society of Legal and Political Philosophy," a
distinguished group of international scholars from a range of
disciplines examines what is meant by virtue, analyzing various
historical and analytical meanings of virtue, notions of liberal
virtue, civic virtue, and judicial virtue, and the nature of
secular and theological virtue.
