{"product_id":"moral-cultivation-brad-wilburn-9780739112205","title":"Moral Cultivation: Essays on the Development of Character and Virtue","description":"The volume \u003ci\u003eMoral Cultivation\u003c\/i\u003e explores an overlooked topic in the renewed interest in virtue ethics, the concept of moral cultivation. While the study of virtue ethics focuses on the concept of virtue itself, an exploration of moral cultivation explores the process of attaining that virtue. The essays in this collection explore the question: How do we develop good character? Brad Wilburn has brought together a range of moral perspectives on this issue. Drawing on many different traditions, the essayists employ many schools of thought and thinkers regarding this issue, including: the Confucian tradition, Ancient Greek philosophy, Classical Rabbinic thought, the moral theory of Hume, and the imperatives of Kant. Although the essays cover a wide breadth, the focus is on a few basic questions: What does moral cultivation look like? What parts of us need to be cultivated and what methods should be used? How do moral theories connect with this aspect of our moral experience? \u003ci\u003eMoral Cultivation\u003c\/i\u003e is a great contribution to the study of virtue ethics. It is a rewarding volume for all levels of thinkers and students with an interest in philosophy or ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Wilburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0739112201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739112205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.37w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 12","brand":"Brad Wilburn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44716113395967,"sku":"9780739112205","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b4aab85-6da1-4b9e-a28a-b3fea85cb117.jpg?v=1705681133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moral-cultivation-brad-wilburn-9780739112205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
