Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book offers a critique of some prevalent approaches to human good and virtue. Professor Slote argues that some personal goods and virtues are less absolute than is generally recognized and should be viewed in the context they occur in. He criticizes certain familiar restrictions on what counts as a virtue and defends the idea of contra-moral virtues and of goods which do not necessarily provide reasons for action.
