- Summary:
- The life of virtue takes place in a field of adversities. It involves not only contingencies that can thwart the virtues but also the horrors and tragedies that can bring to naught even the sturdiest virtue. Persisting in the Good confronts this ubiquitous fact of moral striving by retrieving moral wisdom from Thomas Aquinas and classical Chinese ethics in order to reshape the patterns with which we pursue our quotidian ends.
