Summary:

Vice, Sin, and Sociability in Early Modern Philosophy investigates ideas of human wickedness, and its social and political implications. The book charts early modern discussions stemming from the Augustinian conception of original sin and earlier virtue theories, and shows the complex and innovative reception of traditional ideas. The twelve chapters investigate the nature of vice and sin and their origins in the soul, body, and society, and elaborate on self-love, pride, honour, lying, and the desire for esteem. Contributors include Ana Carmona Aliaga, Alexandra Chadwick, Michael B. Gill, Heikki Haara, Michael Jaworzyn, Henrik Lagerlund, Diego Lucci, Michael Moriarty, Jil Muller, Martina Reuter, Matthias Roick, Tim Stuart-Buttle, and Juhana Toivanen.
