Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, 2005.http://hdl.handle.net/10217/37600Includes bibliographical references (pages 77-78).Virtue cannot be self-contained but must be in place. We actualize a uniquely human capacity for excellence when we respect non-human life. If this really comes from appreciating otherness, then such human virtue is tributary to value in other forms of life. If a virtue ethics is unable to disentwine human virtues from intrinsic values in nature, we have but a half truth, dangerous if taken for the whole.born digitalchapters (layout features)eng©2005 Rowman and Littlefield Publishers.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
