{"product_id":"knowing-what-to-do-sophie-grace-chappell-9780199684854","title":"Knowing What to Do: Imagination, Virtue, and Platonism in Ethics","description":"Sophie Grace Chappell develops a picture of what philosophical ethics can be like, once set aside from the idealising and reductive pressures of conventional moral theory. Her question is 'How are we to know what to do?', and the answer she defends is 'By developing our moral imaginations'. The series of studies presented in \u003cem\u003eKnowing What To Do\u003c\/em\u003e contribute to the case that the moral imagination is a key part of human excellence or virtue by showing that it plays a wide variety of roles in our practical and evaluative lives. There is no short-cut or formulaic way of knowing what to do; but the longer and more painstaking approach is more rewarding anyway. This approach involves developing our repertoire of natural human capacities for imagination, open deliberation, and contemplative attention to the world, the people, and the reality of value around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Grace Chappell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199684855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199684854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 985","brand":"Sophie Grace Chappell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419026407679,"sku":"9780199684854","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f26dd32-960c-4fba-8712-618322de04ae.jpg?v=1761508996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowing-what-to-do-sophie-grace-chappell-9780199684854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
