The Four Cardinal Virtues
The Four Cardinal Virtues

Intellectual examination of timeless moral virtues.

If you're feeling like today's moral landscape is missing depth, Pieper's exploration of the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—might be the anchor you're looking for. It's a thought-provoking read that challenges contemporary views on morality and could offer you a more substantial foundation for personal ethics and understanding human agency.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In The Four Cardinal Virtues, Josef Pieper delivers a stimulating quartet of essays on the four cardinal virtues. He demonstrates the unsound overvaluation of moderation that has made contemporary morality a hollow convention and points out the true significance of the Christian virtues. Translations originally published as three books: Fortitude and Temperance translated by Daniel F. Coogan (1954); Justice translated by Lawrence E. Lynch (1955); and Prudence translated by Richard and Clara Winston (1959).
