Book Description
Morals from Motives develops a virtue ethics inspired more by Hume and Hutcheson's moral sentimentalism than by recently-influential Aristotelianism. It argues that a reconfigured and expanded "morality of caring" can offer a general account of right and wrong action as well as social justice. Expanding the frontiers of ethics, it goes on to show how a motive-based "pure" virtue theory can also help us to understand the nature of human well-being and practical reason.
Review
"The purest and most interesting virtue-ethical theory yet developed. The publication of this book should change the way virtue ethics is understood." --Thomas Hurka, University of Toronto
"[Slote's] project is an attractively shaped one. It is also ambitious, encompassing discussions of political morality and practical rationality." --Times Literary Supplement, November 22, 2002
