An engaging, thought-provoking, illustrated analysis of the classical principles of ethics applied to everyday dilemmas.
Ethics: The Art of Character is the quintessential little book of big ideas.
It draws on the work of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato--and on the words of Dante, Spinoza, Kant, Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Martin Luther King, Jr.
, and Chuang Tzu.
Ethicist Gregory Beabout describes Aristotle's lectures as aimed, not at the young, but at listeners experienced in life .
with a desire to pursue the common good and in possession of a sense of what it is to live a beautiful, meaningful life.
This wise little book contemplates the quest for courage, justice, temperance, wisdom, empathy, humility, and much more--timeless goals that also remain timely.
A chapter on Ethics in Real Life invites the reader to explore two contemporary dilemmas and puzzle out the ethical choices when the situations present a clear choice whether or not to do something that appears wrong, in order to avert an apparently greater evil.
Featuring chapters on medical ethics, workplace ethics, and environmental ethics, Ethics: The Art of Character distills the wisdom of the ages into a sixty-four-page, unforgettable life lesson.
