About this book

Lovibond suggests how the “practical reason view of ethics” can survive challenges from within philosophy and from the antirationalist postmodern critique of reason. At the heart of her argument is the Aristotelian idea of the formation of character through upbringing; this idea can be made contemporary if one understands it in a naturalized way.

Reviews

This is an intricate and stimulating book...an argument that is impressive in its coherence and subtlety, and in the insightful way it engages with issues that are right at the centre of contemporary philosophical debate.
-- John Cottingham Times Literary Supplement
