Ethics and Self-Cultivation

Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Herausgeber: Dennis, Matthew; Werkhoven, Sander

Beschreibung

This volume aims to establish a new cultivation of the self strand within contemporary moral philosophy. It offers a fresh approach to the eudaimonic tradition: instead of conditions for rightness of actions, it focuses on conceptions of human life that are best for the one living it.
