The Second-Person Perspective in Aquinas's Ethics: Virtues and Gifts

by Andrew Pinsent

Book Overview

This book advocates a new understanding of Aquinas's virtue ethics, based not on the ideals of classical antiquity articulated by Aristotle, but on situations involving an irreducible "I-you" relationship. This understanding promotes a shift in the explanation of character development from the first person to second-person relatedness.
