What sort of psychological constitution does one need to be an exemplar of compassion, say, or of courage? Focusing on these two examples, \u003cem\u003eEmotion and Virtue\u003c\/em\u003e ingeniously argues that certain emotion traits play an indispensable role in virtue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith exemplars of compassion, for instance, this role is played by a modified sympathy trait, which is central to enabling these exemplars to be reliably correct judges of the compassionate thing to do in various practical situations. Indeed, according to Gopal Sreenivasan, the virtue of compassion is, in a sense, a modified sympathy trait, just as courage is a modified fear trait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile he upholds the traditional definition of virtue as a species of character trait, Sreenivasan discards other traditional precepts. For example, he rejects the unity of the virtues and raises new questions about when virtue should be taught. Unlike orthodox virtue ethics, moreover, his account does not aspire to rival consequentialism and deontology. Instead, Sreenivasan repudiates the ambitions of virtue imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmotion and Virtue\u003c\/em\u003e makes significant contributions to moral psychology and the theory of virtue alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000603885804,"sku":"9780691134550","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1332643482434.jpg?v=1763288653"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/gopal-sreenivasan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
