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. The contributors include: Jean
Baechler (University of Paris-Sorbonne), Annette C. Baier
(University of Pittsburgh), Ronald Beiner (University of Toronto),
Christopher J. Berry (University of Glasgow), J. Budziszweski
(University of Texas), Charles Larmore (Columbia University), David
Luban (University of Maryland), Stephen Macedo (Harvard
University), Michael J. Perry (Northwestern University), Terry
Pinkard (Georgetown University), Jonathan Riley (Tulane
University), George Sher (University of Vermont), Judith N. Shklar
(Harvard University), Rogers M. Smith (Yale University), David A.
Strauss (University of Chicago), and Joan C. Williams (American
University). John W. Chapman is Professor of Political Science at
the University of Pittsburgh. William A. Galston is Professor,
School of Public Affairs, and Senior Research Scholar, Institute
for Philosophy and Public Policy, University of Maryland at College
Park.
