Sarkar discusses theories of virtue ethics proposed by G.E.M. Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Julia Annas, and Rosalind Hursthouse, and their novel, intriguing answers to old, familiar questions, such as- What is a virtuous action? Are there virtue rules? What is the best explanation of a morally right action? And what, if anything, is the meaning of life? The central task of this book is to examine the vision and tradition that their works collectively create, while also unraveling why this tradition is in need of repair, renewal, and reformation.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46655882494110,"sku":"UBD-9798765144466","price":189.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798765144466.jpg?v=1774836304","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798765144466","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
