What makes courage a true virtue—and how temperance supports it In this examination of moral life, Mezes traces courage beyond bold actions to the inner light that guides them. The book distinguishes between physical bravery and moral courage, arguing that genuine virtue depends on acting from a right, beneficent motive even when it is hard.
Two short paragraphs framing the scope and value:
Drawing on centuries of ethical thought, this work shows how courage fits with other virtues and with social welfare. It explores how conscience, will, and sense of responsibility interact to produce actions that truly serve the common good, while recognizing limits and risks in overconfident or impulsive bravery. A rigorous, patient analysis helps readers understand why courage can be admirable yet not automatically virtuous.
What you will experience
Ideal for readers of ethics, philosophy, and civic life who want a careful, text-based look at courage, temperance, and character.

Store description
Seit über 30 Jahren handeln wir mit Büchern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter Bücher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen Bücher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderbücher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen.
Neben dem Ankauf von privaten Büchern oder Haushaltsauflösungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbestände von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen.
Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die Möglichkeit, große Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbestände werden von uns professionell auf Qualitätsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgfältig für den Onlinehandel aufbereitet.
Wir schenken Büchern ein zweites Leben.
