It draws on the work of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato--and on the words of Dante, Spinoza, Kant, Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Chuang Tzu. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEthicist Gregory Beabout describes Aristotle's lectures as aimed, not at the young, but at listeners experienced in life . . . with a desire to pursue the common good and in possession of a sense of what it is to live a beautiful, meaningful life. This wise little book contemplates the quest for courage, justice, temperance, wisdom, empathy, humility, and much more--timeless goals that also remain timely. A chapter on Ethics in Real Life invites the reader to explore two contemporary dilemmas and puzzle out the ethical choices when the situations present a clear choice whether or not to do something that appears wrong, in order to avert an apparently greater evil. Featuring chapters on medical ethics, workplace ethics, and environmental ethics, \u003ci\u003eEthics: The Art of Character\u003c\/i\u003e distills the wisdom of the ages into a sixty-four-page, unforgettable life lesson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635570830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 5.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Gregory Beabout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935641505973,"sku":"9781635570830","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_95ae68f6-ba79-4bfc-9dc2-115735ee02a4.jpg?v=1688491160","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ethics-the-art-of-character-9781635570830","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
