Moral Exemplars in the Analects

The Good Person is That

by Amy Olberding ...

Series series Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory
In this study, Olberding proposes a new theoretical model for reading the Analects. Her thesis is that the moral sensibility of the text derives from an effort to conceptually capture and articulate the features seen in exemplars, exemplars that are identified and admired pre-theoretically and thus prior to any conceptual criteria for virtue.
