Virtues and Their Vices is the only extant contemporary,
comprehensive treatment of specific virtues and, where applicable,
their competing vices. Each of the essays, written exclusively for
this volume, not only locates discussion of that virtue in its
historical context, but also advances the discussion and debate
concerning the understanding and role of the virtues. Each of the
first four sections focuses on a particular, historically important
class of virtues: the cardinal virtues, the capital vices (or
'seven deadly sins') and the corrective virtues, intellectual
virtues, and the theological virtues. The final section discusses
the role virtue theory and the virtues themselves play in a number
of disciplines, ranging from theology and political theory to
neurobiology and feminism. The treatment of the virtues in this
present volume is sensitive to the historical heritage of the
virtues, including their theological heritage, without paying undue
attention to the historical and theological issues. Virtues and
Their Vices engages contemporary philosophical scholarship as well
as relevant scholarship from related disciplines throughout. It is
a unique and compelling addition to the philosophical treatment of
the virtues as well as their import in a wide spectrum of
disciplines.
