Moral Wisdom and Good Lives
Kekes (The Morality of Pluralism, Princeton Univ. Pr., 1993) argues in this finely crafted book that moral wisdom is the most important virtue for human beings today. In the absence of a generally shared conception of Good, each of us must devise his or her own plan for a good life. To achieve one's plan is no easy task, and to confront the obstacles that inevitably ensue, wisdom is essential. This virtue consists, Kekes thinks, of three modes: moral imagination, self-knowledge, and moral depth. Kekes addresses with insight topics that have often been neglected.
