Summary
In this book I have tried to articulate my dissatisfaction with the flatness of the dominant approach to neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics and offer a better approach that seeks re-enchantment. Even though all neo-Aristotelians can be seen as seeking at least a minimal form of re-enchantment in virtue of responding to the modern problem of disenchantment (i.e., the perceived loss or threat of loss of meaning or value), I have sought to argue for a fuller re-enchantment than any of the major views on offer.
