The Virtues and Their Reasons: A System of Ethics for Society and Schools

By Austin Bierbower

Book Overview

""The Virtues And Their Reasons"" by Austin Bierbower is a comprehensive guide to a system of ethics that can be applied in both society and schools. The book explores the concept of virtues, which are defined as moral qualities that enable individuals to live a good and meaningful life. Bierbower argues that virtues are not just abstract concepts, but are rooted in practical reasons that can be understood and applied in everyday life.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the virtues and their reasons, and discusses the importance of ethics in society and education. The second part delves into the specific virtues, including honesty, courage, justice, and compassion, and explores their practical applications in various contexts.Throughout the book, Bierbower draws on a wide range of philosophical and literary sources, as well as his own experiences as a teacher and educator. He provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the practical applications of the virtues, and offers suggestions for how they can be integrated into educational curricula and social institutions.Overall, ""The Virtues And Their Reasons"" offers a compelling and practical approach to ethics that is relevant to individuals, schools, and society as a whole. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of morality and ethical behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
