EBOOK Disguised Vices:Theories of Virtue in Early Modern French Thought
Opis
Theories of Virtue in Early Modern French Thought
The notions of virtue and vice are vital components of the Western ethical tradition. But in early modern France they were called into question, as writers such as La Rochefoucauld argued that what appears as virtue is in fact disguised vice. Disguised Vices analyses the underlying logic of such claims, and explores what is at stake in them.
