Reviews

This is a very good book. As with any collected volume, some of the essays are stronger than others. But nearly every essay is wide-ranging, historically informed, well argued, lively, interesting, and potentially edifying. I highly recommend it, and hope to see more volumes like it.
*Ryan West, Journal of Moral Philosophy*

The essays, by and large, do a fine job of historical discussion balanced with contemporary issues/retrieval, that is interwoven into the author's own constructive agenda. In this sense, this volume would be a perfect way to start ones research on the virtues and vices, but it would also serve as a helpful outline of contemporary thought on the topic.
*Kyle Strobel, Journal of Analytic Theology*

I think that this volume is among the most important anthologies of the last years in the ever-growing field of virtue ethics Probably the most striking as well as intriguing feature of the anthology is its structure I think that the editors have done tremendous job in selecting the contributors to this volume. The volume is comprised of many excellent contributions from major figures in their respective fields and it seems that Timpe and Boyd have chosen the contributors with much care. At the end of the day, I would like to wholeheartedly recommend this anthology to anyone working in the field of virtue ethics and in broader sense in the field of virtue theory. But also philosophers of religion as well as theologian, and interested students will profit from reading this admittedly rather bulky book. Because of its rather unique focus on the systematics of virtues and their vices, I consider the volume to vital contribution to the debate.
*Ludwig Jaskolla, Metapsychology Online Reviews*

Overall, volume I of Virtues and Their Vices provides a nice introduction to Catholic virtue ethics for those already familiar with the basics of virtue ethics.
*Philosophical Quarterly*

Successful as a whole and the individual essays should prove useful for both scholars and teachers
*Bradford Cokelet, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews*

As a single-stop, comprehensive resource on the virtues and vices, this volume is probably the best we now have.
*David Elliot, University of Cambridge, Studies in Christian Ethics (2016)*
