In recent decades, many philosophers have considered the strengths
and weaknesses of a virtue-centered approach to moral theory. Much
less attention has been given to how such an approach bears on
issues in applied ethics. The essays in this volume apply a
virtue-centered perspective to a variety of contemporary moral
issues, and in so doing offer a fresh and illuminating perspective.
Some of the essays focus on a particular virtue and its application
to one or more realms of applied ethics, such as temperance and sex
or humility and environmental ethics. Other chapters focus on an
issue in applied ethics and bring several virtues into a discussion
of that issue or realm of life, such as sport, education, and
business. Finally, several of the chapters engage relevant
psychological research as well as current neuroscience, which
enhances the strength of the philosophical arguments.
