This book is an utterly original exploration of the timeless human virtues and how they apply to the way we live now, from a dynamic French thinker who has revolutionized the way ordinary people think about philosophy. In this graceful, incisive book, the writer-philosopher André Comte-Sponville reexamines the classical human virtues to help us understand "what we should do, who we should be, and how we should live." In the process, he gives us an entirely new perspective on the value, the relevance, and even the charm of the Western ethical tradition. - Jacket flap.
