title: Unprincipled Virtue: An Inquiry Into Moral Agency
author:  Nomy Arpaly 
description: <br />"I felt sure I would like Nomy Arpaly's book when I opened it to the first page and saw John LeCarr's name in the first sentence. I was not disappointed. Arpaly uses an engaging mix of literary examples and rigorous analysis to present and argue for a variety of interesting claims relating to virtue. Arpaly has something novel and interesting to say about autonomy, agency, moral worth, and virtue. This is an excellent book, and one of the best I've read recently."--Julia Driver, <em>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</em>
