| Summary: | What determines rightness, and in specific situations, what is the right thing to do? This collection of essays attempts to address the understanding of central philosophical and ethical questions about virtues, based on the assumption that there is no sharp East-West divide. The essays are thus grouped thematically - the relation between virtue and rightness; the unity of the virtues and the way in which certain fundamental virtues hold the virtuous life together; and issues concerning virtue, self, and gender - rather than by their origins from either the East (represented here by the Chinese and Indian traditions) or the West. |
