Reviews
'I would like to recommend this volume to students of philosophy and those philosophers looking for a general introduction into virtue thought. Especially, the historic part, I find well put together and helpful. This is indeed an important contribution to the growing and diversifying field of virtue ethics.' Ludwig Jaskolla, Metapsychology Online Reviews
'Every philosophy research library should own a copy of this book ... Highly recommended. Upper division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.' R. White, Choice
'Although I would mostly recommend this book to upper-division undergraduates or beginning graduate students, some of the essays in specific areas or traditions may be of interest even to advanced scholars, due to their approach, which includes areas less discussed in more traditional accounts, such as Chinese philosophy or business virtue ethics. Moreover, its focus on contemporary research on virtue ethics makes this book a particularly valuable resource to ethics scholars with different levels of expertise.' Aline Medeiros Ramos, Metapsychology Online Reviews
