The Art of Living Well: Moral Experience and Virtue Ethics de Paul van Tongeren

The Art of Living Well: Moral Experience and Virtue Ethics

Autor Paul van Tongeren Traducere de Thomas Heij
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iun 2020
In this first English translation of the prize-winning Dutch title Leven is Een Kunst, Paul van Tongeren creates a new kind of virtue ethics, one that centres on how to 'live well' in our contemporary world.While virtue ethics is based on the moral philosophy of Aristotle, it has had many interpretations and iterations throughout history and features prominently in the thinking of the Stoics, Christian narratives and the writings of Nietzsche. The Art of Living Well explores and expands upon these traditions, using them as a basis to form a new interpretation; one that foregrounds art and creativity as paramount to the struggle to act in an authentic and moral way. Acting as both a clear introduction to virtue ethics and moral philosophy and a serious work of original philosophy, this book connects philosophy with real lived experience and tackles, head-on, the perennial philosophical question: 'how do we live well?'

Recenzii

Ambitious in scope, clearly written, and accessible to both academics and laymen, Paul van Tongeren's proposed 'hermeneutical ethics' ventures to construct a modern virtue ethics for a secular world in tension with its own meaninglessness, while still respecting alternative ethical theories as interpretations of unique aspects of moral experience.
Human relations and the will to practise ethics, as opposed to merely theorising about its foundations, are the main focus of this work that enables us to transform our life in such a way as to consider it the privileged object of a special, refined, and philosophically oriented form of art.
Paul van Tongeren's highly readable book not only updates MacIntyre's After Virtue by putting it in dialogue with new and different thinkers, it also recalls its predecessor's philosophical ambition and impressive breadth of reference. One of its key accomplishments is to bring together virtue ethics with philosophy as a way of life. Anglophone readers will particularly benefit from the author's attention to Dutch and German exponents of the ethics of self-cultivation. Students of Aristotle and Nietzsche will also find much here to think over. It deserves to be widely read, enjoyed, and debated.
