Description

In The Virtues of Limits, Oxford University Press presents a deep exploration of the human drive to transcend boundaries. While the desire to push past limits can lead to greatness and the realization of human potential, it can also lead to dehumanization and the failure to achieve essential human goods. This work examines how recognizing proper boundaries is necessary for a well-lived life. The book develops an original account of limiting virtues, focusing on how these qualities help prevent human evils. By studying virtues such as humility and reverence, readers gain a new perspective on the role of limits in moral and social life. This text is an essential resource for those studying ethics, morality, and the philosophical foundations of human behavior.
