. . . the great Catholic philosopher Yves Simon explains with admirable clarity just in what the Aristotelian conception of virtue consists.—Crisis

. . .one of those rare books that will satisfy the demands of the general reader, the scholar, and the teacher…; its six chapter not only offer a clear exposition of moral virtue but reveal the narrative strategy of a master teacher. His use of examples is particularly persuasive because they are noticeably free of the ‘lifeboat’ mentality that plagues so much moral teaching…deserves a central place in philosophical revival of virtues. . .—Cross Currents

. . .an exceptionally well written, original, and insightful piece of practical wisdom…Simon’s work appears to me to be the sort of text to which undergraduates should be introduced if one wishes to give them a pedagogically sounds and appealing introduction to moral science…Simon’s work is an excellent piece of philosophical erudition…The book is genuinely a pear of great price.—The New Scholasticism
