Values and Virtues by Timothy Chappell
After 25 centuries, Aristotle's influence on our society's moral thinking remains profound even when subterranean. Typical members of our society can often be made to see that their moral thought and action are, in crucial ways, unwittingly Aristotelian. No one in contemporary philosophical ethics can afford to ignore Aristotle. Much of the finest work in recent moral philosophy has been overtly and professedly Aristotelian in inspiration. And many writers who would officially distance themselves from Aristotle and his contemporary followers are nonetheless indebted to him, sometimes in ways that they do not realise.Values and Virtues provides a platform for some notable writers in the area to present and discuss their new ideas about Aristotelian ethics in a way that will advance the academic debate and engage the interest of a broad range of philosophical readers.-

Aristoterlian scholarship, whether theoretical or applied, orthodox or self-styled, is a gigantic jigsaw puzzlw with some of the biggest pieces missing: all the books form Aristotle'soriginal corpus that are lost..The book under review here rearranges some of the exsistent Aristotelian pieces and relates them handily to other puzzles of present concernes. In default of the Aristotelian Indiana Jones, this surely counts as progress. * Kristján Kristjánsson MIND *
