Opis

This volume aims to establish a new cultivation of the self strand within contemporary moral philosophy. It offers a fresh approach to the eudaimonic tradition: instead of conditions for rightness of actions, it focuses on conceptions of human life that are best for the one living it.

Recenzje

"This book makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature on the cultivation of virtue. It focuses on the influence of Hellenistic tradition, with its emphasis on the continued development of the self, on modern philosophy, and also includes a number of contemporary perspectives on moral self-cultivation. The volume will be of interest to scholars and graduate students in moral philosophy, moral psychology, philosophy of mind and epistemology." – Liezl van Zyl, University of Waikato, New Zealand
