Morals from Motives by Michael Slote Book PDF Summary

"Morals from Motives defends its approach against criticisms that naturally occur to those skeptical of basing the morality of right and wrong action in independently admirable motives. It also argues that ideally, good people will in general be concerned about helping people rather than about (conscientiously) doing their duty. But the book's largest positive aim is to show that virtue ethics isn't limited to ancient prototypes and can especially benefit from ideas deriving from eighteenth-century moral sentimentalism and from recent thinking about the "feminine" morality of caring."--BOOK JACKET.
