Virtue: Ancient and Modern  

Keynote address by Dr. Lawrence J. Jost, University of Cincinnati

We are especially interested in papers addressing the concept of virtue, virtue ethics, morality, habituation, character, and notions of goodness by which theories of virtue could be oriented.  We request that each paper help to create space for thinking about historical shifts and contrasts in assumptions between ancient and modern conceptions.  Continental, analytic, historical, and contemporary approaches are all welcomed.  Presentations will be foll­­owed by commentary from a graduate student.
