Edited by Nancy E. Snow
Reviews and Awards
"Some of the pieces are written extremely well and deserve wide circulation. Those by Narvaez, Slingerland, Slote, Flanagan, Thompson, Bucar, and Russell are highlights. But there is something worth reading in each piece, and the volume as a whole promises to achieve its goal of stimulating further work on virtue development." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
"Until fairly recently, the philosophical literature on the virtues has paid insufficient attention to formational questions. Cultivating Virtue takes a big step toward filling that lacuna, and admirably provides both guidance and inspiration for those interested in continuing the project. The volume warrants careful attention from scholars within and beyond the three disciplines represented therein, and its range, depth, and accessibility fit it for both upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in virtue ethics, comparative ethics, moral psychology, and more. Moreover, its formative insights hold out the very real prospects of helping readers to pursue and attain greater virtue. I highly recommend it." -- Ryan West, Journal of Moral Philosophy
