Sacrifice in Eudaimonistic Virtue Ethics; Christopher Toner.The rise of the phenomenon of virtue ethics in recent years has increased at a rapid pace. Such an explosion carries with it a number of great possibilities, as well as risks. This volume has been written to contribute a multi-faceted perspective to the current conversation about virtue. Among many other thought-provoking questions, the collection addresses the following: What are the virtues, and how are they enumerated? What are the internal problems among ethicists, and what are the objections and replies to contemporary virtue ethics? Additionally, the practical implications following from the answers to these questions are discussed in new and fascinating research. Fundamental concepts such as teleology and eudaimonism are addressed from both a historical and dialectical approach. This tome will contribute not only to providing further clarity to the current horizons in virtue ethics, but also to the practical conclusion following from the study: to challenge the reader toward a greater pursuit of the virtuous life.EthicsSocial sciences—PhilosophyEthicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Moral Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E41000Social Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E43000Ethics.Social sciences—Philosophy.Ethics.Moral Philosophy.Social Philosophy.179.9171.3Grimi Elisaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337685303321Virtue Ethics: Retrospect and Prospect1912801UNINA
