Impossibility of Perfection

Aristotle, Feminism, and the Complexities of Ethics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Most people think that the difficulty of balancing career and personal/family relationships is the fault of present-day society or is due to their own inadequacies. But in this major new book, Michael Slote argues that the difficulty runs much deeper, that it is due to the essential nature of the divergent goods involved in this kind of choice.
