Fractured Goodness

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Fractured Goodness by Christopher Shields, published by Oxford University Press in 2024. This 304-page hardback delves into Aristotle's critical examination of Plato's doctrine of the Form of the Good. Shields argues that Aristotle's perspective reveals the pitfalls of generalizing virtues into a singular notion of goodness. While such generalizations may hold in specific instances, they ultimately falter in broader applications. This book is essential for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, and the intricate debates surrounding virtue and goodness. Engage with Shields' compelling arguments and expand your understanding of these foundational concepts in Western philosophy.
