How Should One Live?

`I can strongly recommend Crisp's collection to anyone interested in virtue ethics. It is thought-provoking, and will certainly stimulate the debate on virtue theory.' Peter Schaber, Philosophical Quarterly `This is a superb collection of essays on the virtues ... Crisp's collection consists of nothing but original essays - all of high quality - and his own introduction is incisive ... Highly recommended for all university libraries and larger public libraries.' Choice `An excellent book on theory and, combined with other materials, provides for a challenging and serious investigation into this topic.' Teaching Philosophy `For me, possibly the greatest merit of the collection is it's richness, displaying the futility of defining virtue ethics ... Roger Crisp has succeeded in his stated aim of providing a reader on virtue theory, and one which 'suggests a broad agenda for future thought'. It is an extremely worthwhile and high quality collection.' Christine Swanton, Mind vol.100 no.423, 1997 `this volume is probably the best single introduction to what is going on in virtue ethics today ... the general quality of the contributions is high. I found it consistently interesting, sometimes absorbing, reading. Within the realm of virtue ethics, the essays cover a commendably broad range of topics.' Lester Hunt, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ethics, April 1999
