Non-Western philosophy; Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge; Ethics & moral philosophy

"This is the first book to bring together Western and Chinese perspectives on both moral and intellectual virtues. Editors Chienkuo Mi, Michael Slote, and Ernest Sosa have assembled some of the world’s leading epistemologists and ethicists—located in the U.S., Europe, and Asia—to explore in a global context what they are calling, ""the virtue turn."" The 15 chapters have never been published previously and by covering topics that bridge epistemology and moral philosophy suggest a widespread philosophical turn away from Kantian and Utilitarian issues and towards character- and agent-based concerns. A goal of this volume is to show students and researchers alike that the (re-)turn toward virtue underway in the Western tradition is being followed by a similar (re-)turn toward virtue in Chinese philosophy."

Reviews for Moral and Intellectual Virtues in Western and Chinese Philosophy: The Turn toward Virtue

"""This exciting volume breaks new ground through its conscious efforts to bring experts in three fields—virtue epistemology, virtue ethics, and Chinese philosophy—into conversation with one another. The volume demonstrates that there is enough overlap for fruitful conversation and learning, and thus is an important contribution not just to its constituent subfields, but also to the growing philosophical literature that is genuinely cross-cultural."" Stephen C. Angle, Wesleyan University, USA ""This is an interesting and exciting volume, in which philosophers from around the world collaborate to document and extend 'the virtue turn and/or return' in Western and Chinese philosophy. This excellent collection of essays explores various issues in virtue ethics and epistemology, while at the same time informing us about important connections and contrasts in the Western and Chinese traditions."" John Greco, Saint Louis University, USA"
