Though virtue ethics is enjoying a resurgence, the topic of virtue
cultivation has been largely neglected by philosophers. This volume
remedies this gap, featuring mostly new essays, commissioned for
this collection, by philosophers, theologians, and psychologists at
the forefront of research into virtue. Each contribution focuses on
some aspect of virtue development, either by highlighting virtue
cultivation within distinctive traditions of ethical or religious
thought, or by taking a developmental perspective to yield fresh
insights into criticisms of virtue ethics, or by examining the
science that explains virtue development. The essays by Russell and
Driver investigate virtue cultivation or problems associated with
it from Aristotelian and utilitarian perspectives. Slote addresses
virtue development from the sentimentalist standpoint. Swanton and
Cureton and Hill explore self-improvement, the former with an eye
to offering solutions to critiques of virtue ethics, the latter
from a Kantian ethical vantage point. Slingerland examines
contemporary psychology as well as virtue development in the
Confucian tradition to counter situationist criticisms of virtue
ethics. Flanagan, Bucar, and Herdt examine how virtue is cultivated
in the Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian traditions, respectively.
Narvaez, Thompson, and McAdams offer descriptive insights from
psychology into virtue development. The result is a collection of
extremely creative essays that not only fills the current gap but
also promises to stimulate new work on a philosophically neglected
yet vital topic.
