Synopsis

This study argues that ethics must unite the self with its neighbors, not keep them separate. It reconstructs moral theory to bridge theory and practice through the idea of community.

The book examines how traditional ethics have treated virtue as something private, and it offers a reconstruction that centers on inter‑subjective life. It shows how the self and others influence moral choice, duty, and the common good, aiming to harmonize scientific and popular views of conduct.

- Reconsiders major moral theories to reveal how they treat self and other
- Explores the idea of the alter and the role of community in ethical life
- Examines common good, conscience, and inter‑subjective relations
- Applies the theory to everyday conduct, social life, and moral responsibility

Ideal for readers interested in philosophy, ethics, and theology who want a more social, integrated view of virtue and obligation.
