Contenidos:
Ch. 1. Hobbes: Politics and the Virtues of a Lesser Order -- Ch. 2. Locke: Private Virtue and the Public Good -- Ch. 3. Kant: Virtue within the Limits of Reason Alone -- Ch. 4. Mill: Liberty, Virtue, and the Discipline of Individuality.
Resumen: Virtue has been rediscovered in the United States as a subject of public debate and of philosophical inquiry. Politicians from both parties, leading intellectuals, and concerned citizens from diverse backgrounds are addressing questions about the content of our character. Yet many continue to associate virtue with a prudish, Victorian morality or with crude attempts by government to legislate morals. Peter Berkowitz clarifies the fundamental issues, arguing that a certain ambivalence toward virtue reflects the liberal spirit at its best. Drawing on recent scholarship as well as classical political philosophy, he makes his case with penetrating analyses of four central figures in the making of modern liberalism: Hobbes, Locke, Kant, and Mill.
