"This excellent book makes an important and timely contribution to the virtue ethics literature by focussing on under-theorized virtues such as creativity, ambition, wonder, and humour. The contributors include many of the world’s leading theorists in virtue ethics. It is highly recommended reading for scholars and students in moral philosophy." – Alfred Archer, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
"With the renewed emphasis on the virtues, most recent work has focussed attention on the typical Aristotelian moral virtues. This volume presents a delightfully fresh approach, addressing neglected – but important – virtues that also deserve the attention of those working in the virtue and vice tradition." – Craig A. Boyd, Saint Louis University, USA
