Longing for the Good Life: Virtue Ethics after Protestantism: T&T Clark Enquiries in Theological Ethics

Autor Associate Professor Pieter Vos
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2022
This book argues that Protestant theological ethics not only reveals basic virtue ethical characteristics, but also contributes significantly to a viable contemporary virtue ethics. Pieter Vos demonstrates that post-Reformation theological ethics still understands the good in terms of the good life, takes virtues as necessary for living the good life and considers human nature as a source of moral knowledge. Vos approaches Protestant theology as an important bridge between pre-modern virtue ethics, shaped by Aristotle and transformed by Augustine of Hippo, and late modern understandings of morality. The volume covers a range of topics, going from eudaimonism and Calvinist ethics to Reformed scholastic virtue ethics and character formation in the work of Søren Kierkegaard. The author shows how Protestantism has articulated other-centered virtues from a theology of grace, affirmed ordinary life and emphasized the need of transformation of this life and its orders. Engaging with philosophy of the art of living, Neo-Aristotelianism and exemplarist ethics, he develops constructive contributions to a contemporary virtue ethics.

Recenzii

The book serves as an important addition to the study of virtue and deserves to be read and reflected on by those of us who are interested in Christian virtue theory.
[A]n excellent example of retrieval. Vos's engagement with the sources adds to the efforts of Manfred Svensson and David Sytsma to clarify the place of virtue in classical Protestantism...he makes great strides in reconnecting Protestant ethics to the wider Christian tradition.
