### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Timeless virtues made accessible!
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2011*

Joseph Pieper  is one of the finest philosophers of the 20th century. The Four Cardinal Virtues is an indispensable  resource for understanding the best of ethics gifted to us from antiquity.  Joseph Pieper is a brilliant philosopher, all the more so because he makes the exposition of these hinge virtues accessible to us all, even those of us less adept at philosophical explications.  Further, with this book, he draws the reader into deep waters in understanding the totality of what it truly means to be human.  The illuminating relevancy of each argument and exposition is a joy to the mind because what he exposes to us is timeless.I agree with the other reviewer who suggests that this book be followed by Joseph Pieper's Faith, Love and Hope.  I imagine a great writer could not overstate  the value of these wonderful books, much less a novice like myself.  If you want to learn about the true nature of the timeless virtues, get and read these books!

    Don't let your enemies define you.
  

*by N***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2003*

Simply brilliant reading. Living naturally is what the crux of this book is all about.The book delves into ethics, civics, justice, philosophy, psychology, and I think it is a healthy tool for understanding classical literature: Shakespeare, for example, and the inner psychology of his characters as this moral plain, that Pieper describes, is so much closer to his than most of what we hear in our modernity.Pieper, here, spends time defining what the classic moral compass is, taken primarily from the last officially sanctioned church doctor St. Thomas Aquinas. Pieper brings Aquinas and other philosophers' language up to date, for the ears of the modern mind. Christianityfs definition has too much to do with how it's enemies, or alterior users, wish to define it and Pieper spends a short time correcting this in places.If you liked this you might like Pieper's Virtues of the Human Heart which is a bit less discriptive but more powerful.Pieper also makes the point that the most important stuggle is the internal struggle for meaning and direction in any organization or person.

    You Really Need Both Books
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2003*

I first came into contact with this work because it was a required text for my seminary class on ethics.  Pieper is a first rate German philosopher and expert on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas.If you study this book, The Four Cardinal Virtues (fortitude, temperance, justice, and prudence), along with his other book, Faith, Hope, Love (the three theological virtues), you will have a wonderful primer on ethics.One word of warning.  Philosophy is not light reading.  I know, it was one of my majors.  Philosophy written in German and translated into English produces a book not for the timid.  If you are willing to take on the challenge, more power to you.  It is worth the effort, but you should know what you are getting into before you put down your money.  This is a book for those who want to think and wrestle with ethics.  It is not for everyone.
