Summary
Daniel Star presents a novel solution to the problem of reconciling normative ethics with ordinary virtue - for while ethical principles seem worth defending, it is not plausible to suggest that virtuous people in general follow them. He presents a new account of virtue, and rethinks the role that knowledge plays in deliberation and action.
