Putting on Virtue: The Legacy of the Splendid Vices
Jennifer A. Herdt
Reveals how a distrust of learned and habituated virtue shaped both early modern Christian moral reflection and secular forms of ethical thought. This book traces a path from suspicion of virtue to its secular inversion, from confession of dependence to assertion of independence.
