{"product_id":"from-morality-to-virtue-9780195093926","title":"From Morality to Virtue","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book  Slote offers the first full-scale foundational account of virtue ethics to have appeared since the recent revival of interest in the ethics of virtue. Slote advocates a particular form of such ethics for its intuitive and structural advantages over Kantianism  utilitarianism  and common-sense morality  and he argues that the problems of other views can be avoided and a contemporary plausible version of virtue ethics achieved only by abandoning specifically moral concepts for general aretaic notions like admirability and virtue. Although this study is not bound by particular Aristotelian doctrines  it places an Aristotelian emphasis on both self-benefiting and other-benefiting virtues. Slote criticizes Kantian and common-sense morality for internal incoherencies and for downgrading the moral individual and her well-being in some previously unnoticed ways. By contrast  this book defends a distinctive  intuitive  and symmetric ethical principle according to which we should balance self-concern with concern for others  but it also concludes that there is  contrary to utilitarianism  no single basis for status as a virtue nor any simple relation between the virtues and human well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652308328501,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195093925","price":50.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195093926.jpg?v=1781850906","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/from-morality-to-virtue-9780195093926","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
