To the philosophy department at Saint Louis University—which
instantiates many of the qualities that make a community flourish,
and by whom we have been shaped. In particular, we’d like to thank
Fr Ted Vitali for his godfather-like leadership, Eleonore Stump for
being an exemplar of a devoted scholar, and Jack Doyle for his
meticulous ability to master the text.
Acknowledgments
As with any project this size, we have benefitted greatly from the hard work
andexpertiseofnumerouspeople.Theideaforthisvolumecamefromoneof
us(KevinTimpe)teachingacourseentitled‘VirtuesandVices’attheUniver-
sityofSanDiego.Ithastakennumerousyearstocometocompletion,andwas
delayedbytheunfortunatedeathofanoriginalcontributor,forwhomwehad
to secure a replacement. We’d like to express our gratitude to the staff at
Oxford University Press—especially Tom Perridge, Lizzie Robottom, and
CathrynSteele—fortheirnever-failingsupport,encouragement,andpatience.
Nathan Maddix and Audra Jenson provided valuable editorial assistance
in preparing the final volume. Earlier versions of some of the material
in this volume helped form the body of a 2012 summer seminar that Timpe
co-directed with Christina Van Dyke at Calvin College. We’d also like to
expressourgratitudetoouruniversities,SaintLouisUniversityandNorthwest
