Sobre IBD

In this groundbreaking collection of articles, ten respected philosophers discuss everyday virtues, including generosity of spirit, gratitude, hope, patience, and trust. Martha C. Nussbaum describes the cognitive dimensions of compassion; Robert Solomon argues that love must have reasons; Eamonn Callan contends that patience has as much value as courage. Clifford Williams’ Introduction places the virtues into the contemporary context and discusses each one treated in the book.

Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
