Virtue ethics has emerged as a distinct field within moral theory -
whether as an alternative account of right action or as a
conception of normativity which departs entirely from the
obligatoriness of morality - and has proved itself invaluable to
many aspects of contemporary applied ethics. Virtue ethics now
flourishes in philosophy, sociology and theology and its
applications extend to law, politics and bioethics. "The Handbook
of Virtue Ethics" brings together leading international scholars to
provide an overview of the field. Each chapter summarizes and
assesses the most important work on a particular topic and sets
this work in the context of historical developments. Taking a
global approach by embracing a variety of major cultural traditions
along with the Western, the "Handbook" maps the emergence of virtue
ethics and provides a framework for future developments.
