A cutting-edge collection of papers by philosophers and psychologists, Moral Psychology, volume 5: Virtue and Character both engages with such general debates as the value of approaching moral questions via the notions of character and virtue, and the relationship between virtue and happiness, and offers fresh accounts of individual virtues such as humility, self-control, and compassion. The book's lively format -- a primary paper on each of the ten topics, followed by commentaries and the primary author's response -- contributes to its fresh and interdisciplinary merits. An excellent resource for courses in moral psychology. -- Rachana Kamtekar, Professor of Philosophy, University of Arizona Moral Psychology, volume 5: Virtue and Character is a must-read for scholars working on virtue today, especially scholars who are interested in empirically informed moral psychology. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Christian Miller have put together an excellent collection of original work on character and virtue, written by scholars in a broad range of disciplines. I recommend it very highly. -- Julia Driver, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis; author of Uneasy Virtue and Consequentialism
