Explorations about and around the ethics of virtue dominated
philosophical thinking in the ancient world, and recent moral
philosophy has seen a massive revival of interest in virtue ethics
as a rival to Kantian and utilitarian approaches. To help users
make sense of the gargantuan-and, often, dauntingly complex-body of
literature on the subject, this new four-volume collection is the
latest addition to Routledge's acclaimed Critical Concepts in
Philosophy series. The editor has carefully assembled classic
contributions, as well as more recent work, to create a one-stop
'mini library' of the best and most influential scholarship. While
Volume I ('Ancient Virtue Ethics') focuses on the Greek and Roman
founding fathers, it also brings together key works that examine
the roots of virtue ethics in Christian, Asian, and other
traditions. Volume II is organized around 'Religious Virtue
Ethics', especially in the last sixty years or so, and Volume III
brings together 'Modern Virtue Ethics'. The final volume in the
collection ('Applied Virtue Ethics') assembles major works on
topics such as the beginning and end of life; the environment;
animal rights; business ethics; sports ethics; the virtues and the
economy; the virtues and political life; studies of particular
virtues; and debates about whether particular traits are indeed
virtues. With a comprehensive index and a useful synoptic
introduction newly written by the editor, Virtue Ethics will be
welcomed as an indispensable resource for both reference and
research.
