One of the most important developments in modern moral philosophy is the resurgence of interest in the virtues In this new book Daniel Russell explores two important hopes for such an approach to moral thought that starting from the virtues should cast light on what makes an action right and that notions like character virtue and vice should yield a plausible picture of human psychology Russell argues that the key to each of these hopes is an understanding of the cognitive and deliberative skills involved in the virtues If right action is defined in terms of acting generously or kindly then these virtues must involve skills for determining what the kind or generous thing to do would be on a given occasion Likewise Russell argues that understanding virtuous action as the intelligent pursuit of virtuous goals yields a promising picture of the psychology of virtue This book develops an Aristotelian account of the virtue of practical intelligence or phronesisan excellence of deliberating and making choiceswhich Russell argues is a necessary part of every virtue This emphasis on the roots of the virtues in the practical intellect contrasts with ambivalence about the practical intellect in much recent work on the virtuesa trend Russell argues is ultimately perilous for virtue theory This book also takes a penetrating look at issues like the unity of the virtues responsibility for character and that elusive figure the virtuous person Written in a clear and careful manner Practical Intelligence and the Virtues will appeal to philosophers and students alike in moral philosophy and moral psychology

Virtue as Social Intelligence An Empirically Grounded Theory takes on the claims of philosophical situationism the ethical theory that is skeptical about the possibility of human virtue Influenced by social psychological studies philosophical situationists argue that human personality is too fluid and fragmented to support a stable set of virtues They claim that virtue cannot be grounded in empirical psychology This book argues otherwise Drawing on the work of psychologists Walter Mischel and Yuichi Shoda Nancy E Snow argues that the social psychological experiments that philosophical situationists rely on look at the wrong kinds of situations to test for behavioral consistency Rather than looking at situations that are objectively similar researchers need to compare situations that have similar meanings for the subject When this is done subjects exhibit behavioral consistencies that warrant the attribution of enduring traits and virtues are a subset of these traits Virtue can therefore be empirically grounded and virtue ethics has nothing to fear from philosophical situationism

In his groundbreaking New York Times bestselling books and compelling PBS specials John Bradshaw transformed our understanding of the family and became a dominant figure in the field of addiction and recovery Now he brings together a lifetime of experience and teaching to redefine virtuehow we learn it and live itfor our troubled times John Bradshaw has written this book for the millions of decent caring people who are struggling every day with painful choices who are appalledas he isby the greed and shamelessness that plague our society and who long for guidance for themselves and their children in an increasingly complex world Is the only solution a return to an oppressive rulesbased morality or an idealized past Bradshaw says no Instead he shows that each of us has what he calls an inborn moral intelligence an inner guidance system that can lead usif we know how to cultivate it in ourselves and othersHis fascinating discussion ranges from the ancient Greek philosophers to modern explorations of emotional development from provocative historical insights to the recent discoveries of neuroscience Why do so many attempts at moral education fail What is willpower and how can we develop it How can we navigate the inevitable problems of love and work and aging How can we begin again after addiction or failure How can we lead and discipline our childrenWhat emerges is a clear vision of a morality grounded in childhood educated by the practice of both traditional and modern virtues and culminating in the momenttomoment ability to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason Reclaiming Virtue is both an inspiring appeal to what Abraham Lincoln called the better angels of our nature and a wise guide to building a life of unshakable integrity and wellbeing

Towards Justice and Virtue challenges the rivalry between those who advocate only abstract universal principles of justice and those who commend only the particularities of virtuous lives Onora ONeill traces this impasse to defects in underlying conceptions of reasoning about action She proposes and vindicates an alternative more modest account of ethical reasoning a reasoned way of answering the question who counts and constructs a linked account of the principles that are basic for moving toward just institutions and virtuous lives

How do ordinary people come to know what is virtuous Do our moral convictions merely reflect our cultural background and upbringing or do we somehow understand what is virtuous by ourselves and in a failsafe manner Thomas Aquinas believes that we do In his view practical reason is guided by our natural knowledge of the end of the moral virtues The ends of the moral virtues preexist in practical reason Summa theologiae IIII4767 This book delves into this argument its historical background and its implications for Aquinas account of the cognitive foundations of deliberation For Thomas the naturally known overarching ends of the moral virtues and human life are love for God self and others They are first principles of practical reason This order of love determines the content logic and workings of natural law In this way Aquinas not only develops a compelling account of natural law but also bridges the gap between natural law and virtue The fundamental content of natural law is tied up with the shape and structure of the moral virtues Aquinas innovative wedding of Aristotelian and Augustinian accounts of deliberation constitutes an important chapter within mediaeval moral philosophy It can also contribute much to contemporary reflection on practical reason natural law and virtue ethics

Morality and mental health are now inseparably linked in our view of character Alcoholics are sick yet they are punished for drunk driving Drug addicts are criminals but their punishment can be court ordered therapy The line between character flaws and personality disorders has become fuzzy with even the seven deadly sins seen as mental disorders In addition to pathologizing wrongdoing we also psychologize virtue selfrespect becomes selfesteem integrity becomes psychological integration and responsibility becomes maturity Moral advice is now sought primarily from psychologists and therapists rather than philosophers or theologians In this wideranging accessible book Mike W Martin asks are we replacing morality with therapy in potentially confused and dangerous ways or are we creatively integrating morality and mental health According to him its a little bit of both He surveys the ways in which morality and mental health are related touching on practical concerns like love and work selfrespect and selffulfillment guilt and depression crime and violence and addictions Terming this integrative development the therapeutic trend in ethics Martin uses examples from popular culture various moral controversies and draws on a line of thought that includes Plato the Stoics Freud Nietzsche and contemporary psychotherapeutic theories Martin develops some interesting conclusions among them that sound morality is indeed healthy and that moral values are inevitably embedded in our conceptions of mental health In the end he shows how both morality and mental health are inextricably intertwined in our pursuit of a meaningful life This book will be of interest to philosophers psychologists psychiatrists and sociologists as well as the general reader
