In The Suspicion of Virtue, John J. Conley, S. J., explores the moral philosophies developed by five women authors of that milieu: Madame de Sablé, Madame Deshoulières, Madame de la Sabliére, Mlle de la Vallière, and Madame de Maintenon. Through biography, extensive translation, commentary, and critical analysis, The Suspicion of Virtue presents the work of women who participated in the philosophical debates of the early modern period but who have been largely erased from the standard history of philosophy. Conley examines the various literary genres (maxim, ode, dialogue) in which these authors presented their moral theory. He also unveils the philosophical complexity of the arguments presented by these women and of the salon culture that nurtured their preoccupations. Their pointed critiques of virtue as a mask of vice, Conley asserts, are relevant to current controversy over the revival of virtue theory by contemporary ethicians. 606 $aWomen philosophers$zFrance$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen philosophers 676 $a194.082 700 $aConley$b John J.$0948953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466674003321 996 $aThe suspicion of virtue$92469872 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01670nam 2200373 450 001 9910688299703321 005 20230625185521.0 035 $a(CKB)5400000000046203 035 $a(NjHacI)995400000000046203 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000046203 100 $a20230625d2021 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aSuicide /$fedited by Robert W.

The public often cannot believe that the person who committed suicide could have engaged in such a seemingly irrational and extreme act. Similarly, health agencies often find themselves at a loss as to what strategies or policies might be employed to stem the seemingly constant flow of suicide. This book carefully addresses sociological, psychological, and physiological factors that contribute to suicide. It also presents strategies that might be employed to reduce suicide by way of public policies, psychotherapeutic strategies, and neurophysiological interventions. 606 $aSuicide$xPrevention 606 $aSuicide$xPsychology 615 0$aSuicide$xPrevention. 615 0$aSuicide$xPsychology. 676 $a616.8 702 $aMotta$b Robert W. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688299703321 996 $aSuicide$92827368 997 $aUNINA
