What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and most admired virtues? Is courage characteristic of all cultures, or only some, and why is it so often portrayed as a "manly" virtue? Is courage an emotion or a capability, a psychological or physical phenomenon?
In this insightful and crisply written book, Geoffrey Scarre examines these questions and many more.

Pressestimmen
'. . . a wonderful little book about one of the most well known yet least understood virtues. Scarre has a simple, straightforward writing style that is informative but easy to follow. . . . For anyone interested in courage, whether for research or just out of curiosity, this is the book to start with. Highly recommended.' - CHOICE
'Courage is a cardinal virtue and at the core of our everyday, lived morality. It raises some fascinating questions - can a criminal be courageous? is the courageous person not afraid? - and yet contemporary philosophers have said surprisingly little about it. So this insightful, open-minded and accessible study will be especially valuable to anyone interested in the morality of the virtues.' - Roger Crisp, St. Anne's College, Oxford, UK
