| Abstract
|
:
|
"Rational Man introduces readers to Aristotle's thoughts on ethics, interweaving questions and answers, reaching back to previous remarks and anticipating what is yet to come in the argument. Veatch uses literature, especially Jane Austen, to illustrate how vice is destructive and virtue is perfective of human flourishing and how ethics concern human character: Virtue and vice are quite real, and Veatch fortifies the reader to use both heart and intellect in absorbing the qualities of each. Rational Man offers a middle ground between existentialist and analytical ethics and anticipates the arguments of current virtue ethicists."--BOOK JACKET.
