The Four Cardinal Virtues: Human Agency, Intellectual Traditions, and Responsible Knowledge

Book Chapter

Abstract

In The Four Cardinal Virtues, Joseph 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.
