Virtue, the Quality of Life, and Punishment
The Monist 63 (2):172-184 (1980)
Abstract
The quality of our lives depends to a great degree on the sorts of people who inhabit them. There are very different sorts, and there are good reasons for preferring some sorts to others, and for doing what one can to be of one sort rather than another. These are truisms too seldom explored in moral philosophy.My notes
