Synopsis
Virtue ethics is on the move both in Anglo-American philosophy and in the rest of the world. This volume uniquely emphasizes non-Western varieties of virtue ethics at the same time that it includes work in the many different fields or areas of philosophy where virtue ethics has recently spread its wings. Just as significantly, several chapters make comparisons between virtue ethics and other ways of approaching ethics or political philosophy or show how virtue ethics can be applied to "real world" problems.

Newspapers & Magazines
"Virtue Ethics goes global with this collection, which explores, with impressive depth, much unfamiliar territory."

Rosalind Hursthouse, University of Auckland, New Zealand

"This remarkable volume is unique in approaching the topic of virtue ethics from a truly global perspective: global in terms of the refreshing and long overdue inclusion of non-Western traditions as well as in terms of disciplines, topics, and philosophical commitments. The choice of authors is outstanding and together their contributions broaden, deepen, and offer much needed nuance to our understanding and appreciation of the history, practice, challenges, and contemporary relevance of virtue ethics."

Philip J. Ivanhoe, City University of Hong Kong, China

"A rich and stimulating collection spanning contemporary and historical approaches, with impressive coverage of both theoretical and applied issues and an unusually wide cultural reach."

John Cottingham, Professor Emeritus at Reading University, UK
