The distinguished philosopher Robert M. Adams presents a major work on virtue, which is once again a central topic in ethical thought. A Theory of Virtue is a systematic, comprehensive framework for thinking about the moral evaluation of character, proposing that virtue is chiefly a matter of being for what is good, and that virtues must be intrinsically excellent and not just beneficial or useful.

Reviews“ Robert Adams's new book is an important and comprehensive contribution to the study of virtue and to the defense of its existence. The book is an easy read; Adams skillfully lays out his views and arguments clearly and without jargon... Adams's criticisms of opposing theories of virtue are, in general, crisp and cogent... reading Adams's book would be an excellent way for anyone to get up to speed on the current state of virtue theory. It would make an outstanding text for a graduate seminar on virtue
