"Contemporary Aristotelian Ethics is an extremely rich original contribution, encompassing a vast landscape of intellectual activity, examining important thinkers in detail, and setting the stage for what can be done next." —Robert Sokolowski, author of Phenomenology of the Human Person"This structure is ideal for use in college courses. The clarity of Madigan's writing enables readers unfamiliar with these philosophers to firmly grasp the essentials of their thought. The discussion of these philosophers in relation to Anglo-American moral philosophy and the current state of Aristotelian philosophy also make it interesting to experts." —Choice"Madigan succeeds in his goal of showing that contemporary Aristotelian approaches do not speak with one voice....this clear book can be valuable for those in the study of religious ethics." —Reading Religion
