Virtue Ethics Today: A Contemporary Introduction presents readers with an engaging overview of contemporary problems, positions and arguments in this rapidly growing field. It includes debates between virtue ethicists and their critics, as well as debates among virtue ethicists themselves. Each chapter begins with a discussion of a central topic in normative ethics, one that students already will have encountered in an introductory course in moral philosophy or applied ethics. The choice of questions and the discussions themselves challenge the reader to think beyond the ways normative ethics usually operates, and thus clearly demonstrates what is distinctive about virtue ethics.
