Character cover

Politicians, preachers, and ordinary people speak often of character; psychologists study `personality', used as a term of art with meanings close to `character'. Most ethical philosophers in the last two hundred years, on the other hand, have not had much to say about character. Joel Kupperman attempts to understand character and to refocus ethical philosophy so that character is central.

'It is a rare pleasure to find a work in moral philosophy that connects so straightforwardly with questions asked by ordinary persons in ordinary life. This subtle and sensible book has much to offer anyone who wants to think more clearly about character and who is concerned with strategies for instilling strong and good character in the young.'
