Aristotle and the Virtues
|
Book Description:Aristotle and the Virtues (Oxford University Press, 2015) by Howard Curzer brings Aristotle's virtues alive by explaining and defending Aristotle's claims, and shows that justice and friendship are interdependent. A new Aristotle emerges, an Aristotle fascinated by the details of the individual virtues. Finally, the book reconstructs Aristotle's account of moral development and its ultimate goal, happiness. |
