Eudaimonic Ethics The Philosophy and Psychology of Living Well

"Lorraine Besser-Jones constructs compelling and original accounts of well-being, character, and virtue from the ground up, starting from established empirical findings and arguing meticulously for detailed normative theses. All previous attempts by virtue ethicists to accommodate empirical insights have been patch-jobs. This book belongs on the shelf of any self-respecting moral psychologist - and in many classrooms." -Mark Alfano, Princeton University Center for Human Values
