This volume features new findings by nine interdisciplinary teams
of researchers on the topics of self, motivation, and virtue. Nine
chapters bringing together scholars from the fields of philosophy,
psychology, neuroscience, and sociology advance our substantive
understanding of these important topics, and showcase a variety of
research methods of interdisciplinary interest. Essays on Buddhism
and the self in the context of romantic relationships, the
development of personal projects and virtue, the notion of
self-distancing and its moral impact, virtues as self-integrated
traits, humility and the self in loving encounter, the importance
of nation and faith in motivating virtue in western and non-western
countries, roles for the self and virtue in eudaimonic growth,
overcoming spiritual violence and sacramental shame in Christian
communities, and an investigation into the moral self highlight the
range and diversity of topics explored in this volume. The concept
of deep integration also characterizes this work: each member of
the interdisciplinary teams was fully and equally invested in their
project from inception to completion. This approach invites teams
to examine their disciplinary assumptions, rethink familiar
concepts, and adjust methodologies in order to view their topics
with fresh eyes. The result is not only new findings of substantive
and methodological interest, but also an interesting glimpse into
the thinking of the researchers as they sought interdisciplinary
common ground in their research. Self, Motivation, and Virtue will
be of interest to scholars in philosophy, moral psychology,
neuroscience, and sociology who are working on these topics.
