In this book, Lorraine Besser-Jones develops a eudaimonistic virtue
ethics based on a psychological account of human nature. While her
project maintains the fundamental features of the eudaimonistic
virtue ethical framework-virtue, character, and well-being-she
constructs these concepts from an empirical basis, drawing support
from the psychological fields of self-determination and
self-regulation theory. Besser-Jones's resulting account of
"eudaimonic ethics" presents a compelling normative theory and
offers insight into what is involved in being a virtuous person and
"acting well." This original contribution to contemporary ethics
and moral psychology puts forward a provocative hypothesis of what
an empirically-based moral theory would look like.
