Varieties of Moral Personality: Ethics and Psychological Realism by Owen Flanagan
English | Feb 12, 1991 | ISBN: 0674932188, 0674932196 | 410 Pages | PDF | 10 MB

Owen Flanagan argues in this book for a more psychologically realistic ethical reflection and spells out the ways in which psychology can enrich moral philosophy. Beginning with a discussion of such "moral saints" as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Oskar Shindler, Flanagan charts a middle course between an ethics that is too realistic and socially parochial and one that is too idealistic, giving no weight to our natures.
