Kant and the Ethics of Humility

In Previous Years Philosophers Have Either Ignored The Virtue Of Humility Or Found It To Be In Need Of Radical Redefinition. But Humility Is A Central Human Virtue And It Is The Purpose Of This Book To Defend That Claim From A Kantian Point Of View. Jeanine Grenberg Argues That We Can Indeed Speak Of Aristotelian-Style But Still Deeply Kantian Virtuous Character Traits. She Proposes Moving From Focus On Action To Focus On Person Not Leaving The Former Behind But Instead Taking It Up Within A Larger More Satisfying Kantian Moral Theory. Using Examples From Literature As Well As Philosophy She Shows That There Is A Kantian Virtue Theory To Be Explored In Which Humility Plays A Central Role. Her Book Will Have A Wide Appeal To Readers Not Only In Kant Studies But Also In Theological Ethics And Moral Psychology.
