Moral Character

An Empirical Theory

Beschreibung

Most of us are not virtuous people; but neither are we vicious. Instead, our characters are decidedly mixed, and much more complex than we might have thought. Christian Miller presents a new account of moral character based on Mixed Character Traits. He explores how most of us are less than virtuous people but also morally better than the vicious.
