Virtues and their Vices is unique for the way it engages contemporary philosophical scholarship as well as relevant scholarship from related disciplines throughout. However, it is not only focused on those historical and theological issues. The treatment of the virtues in this present volume is sensitive to the historical heritage of the virtues, including their theological heritage, drawing on, e.g. The final section discusses the role virtue theory and the virtues themselves play in a number of cognate disciplines, ranging from theology and political theory to neurobiology and feminism. Each of the first four sections focuses on a particular historically important class of virtues: the cardinal virtues, the capital vices (or ‘seven deadly sins’) and the corrective virtues, intellectual virtues, and the theological virtues.

Each of the essays not only locates discussion of that virtue in its historical context, but also advances the discussion and debate concerning the understanding and role of the virtues. Virtues and their Vices is the only extant contemporary, comprehensive treatment of specific virtues and, where applicable, their competing vices.
