Such an ethic focuses less on the concept of duty-or doing-and more on being. Central to an ethic of virtue is a division of moral life that emphasizes character and character development or moral education.The Theory and Practice of Virtue presents a series of connected essays-drawing on the thoughts of such diverse figures as Josef Pieper, Plato Lawrence Kohlberg, and Martin Luther-which explore theories of virtue and the practical task of being virtuous. Meilaender follows his consideration of the conceptual difficulties of moral education with a discussion of the practical problems and dangers of attempting to teach virtue, and more generally, of the problems of observing an ethic which emphasizes virtue within a theology that emphasizes grace. Chapters devoted to particular virtues and vices-the vice of curiosity and the virtue of gratitude-explicitly illustrate the book's central thematic concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708681781536,"sku":"NEW0268018537","price":27.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61-ASkkfQ_L.jpg?v=1779394613","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/theory-and-practice-of-virtue-the-revisions-a-series-of-books-on-ethics-0268018537","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
