Morals from Motives

• PART I: MORALITY AND JUSTICE; PART II: PRACTICAL RATIONALITY AND HUMAN GOOD

"Revivals of virtue ethics usually take their cue from Aristotle and the Stoics. Not so Michael Slote's stimulating new book Morals from Motives, which instead develops virtue ethics approaches inspired, respectively, by the British sentimentalism of Hutcheson and the feminist ethics of care...[A]n ambitious and ground-breaking approach...surprising if this book did not generate significant interest in agent-based forms of virtue ethics."--Michael Brady, Philosophical Quarterly
