4.0 out of 5 stars
A difficult but helpful book,
By David W. Henry (Fredericksburg, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moral Virtue or Mental Health? (San Francisco State University Series in Philosophy) (Hardcover)
Don't let the size of this book fool you. It may be small but it is extremely heavy. Dr. Pestana leaves no question unexplored as he unpacks the philosophical tension between the categories of moral virtue as opposed to mental health. Dr. Pestana plumbs the depths of each category giving the history of the switch to the prevalent modern preference for the category of mental health. Along the way he makes the arguement that the two categories are not congruent and therefore different. I found this book to be a compelling arguement for the need to retain the concept of moral virtue as a distinct, subjective and useful category in a culture where the objective category of mental health predominates.
