Although individual parents face different issues, Sonya Charles
believes most parents want their children to be good people who are
happy in their adult lives. Parents and Virtues: An Analysis of
Moral Development and Parental Virtue starts from the question of
how parents can raise their child to be a moral and flourishing
person. At first glance, readers might think this question is
better left to psychologists rather than philosophers. The author
proposes that Aristotle's ethical theory (known as virtue theory)
has much to say on this issue. Aristotle asks how we become moral
people and how that relates to leading a good life. In other words,
his motivating questions are very similar to the goals parents have
for their children. The first part of this book details what the
basic components of Aristotle's theory can tell us about the
project of parenting. In the second part, the focus shifts to
consider some issues that present potential moral dilemmas for
parents and discuss whether there are specific virtues we may want
to use to guide parental actions. Parents and Virtues will be of
particular value to scholars and students who work on the ethics of
parenthood, virtue theory, and bioethics.
