The book departs in significant ways from classical virtue ethics and neo-Aristotelianism, employing insights from Nietzsche and other sources, resulting in a highly distinctive and original brand of virtue ethics. 606 $aVirtue 606 $aEthics 606 $aPHILOSOPHY$2bisac 606 $aEthics & Moral Philosophy$2bisac 615 0$aVirtue. 615 0$aEthics. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY 615 7$aEthics & Moral Philosophy 676 $a179/.9 676 $a179.9 700 $aSwanton$b Christine$0237811 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827694103321 996 $aVirtue Ethics$94061099 997 $aUNINA
