It argues that the cultivation of virtuous character necessitates the establishment of appropriate institutions, while well-functioning institutions facilitate the harmonious coexistence of individuals. While virtue ethics and political philosophy are profound and sophisticated philosophical traditions, there has unfortunately been a divergence between the virtues of character and the virtues of institutions. This book serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it reorients political philosophy around the concept of the good life, addressing the problem of politics from a virtue ethics perspective. Additionally, it examines the compatibility of a political theory centered around the good life with Rawls' notion of reasonable pluralism. Secondly, the book delves into the intricate connection between the virtues of institutions and the virtues of character, demonstrating how institutions support the development and exercise of these virtues. It also explores specific other-regarding virtues, such as justice and friendship, in the context of institutional frameworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Authority of Virtue is a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students engaged in the study of virtue ethics, social and political philosophy, ancient philosophy, and political theory. It provides a deep and insightful analysis of the complex interplay between justice, the good life, and the institutions that shape our lives. By offering a fresh perspective on these critical topics, this book contributes to our understanding of the foundations of a just and flourishing society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 330g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367624071\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tristan J.
