The Harmony of the Soul: Mental Health and Moral Virtue Reconsidered (Suny the Philosophy of Psychology) - Hardcover
The Harmony of the Soul creates a naturalistic grounding for ethics and a moral grounding for psychotherapy. It is an original and startling synthesis of the ideas of mental health and moral virtue based on neglected affinities between classical Greek ethics, contemporary virtue ethics, sociobiology, and the basic presuppositions of psychotherapy. A central thesis of the book is that we can assume "the worst" about what science tells us about the human animal without having to sacrifice any of the things that are of most importance to ethics: virtue and the good life, harmony of the soul, freedom, conscience, and moral knowledge.

About the Author:
Review:
Neal O. Weiner is Professor of Philosophy at Marlboro College.
“Neal Weiner’s Harmony of the Soul is a bold and original contribution to the literature on the philosophy of psychology. Its controversial and thought-provoking arguments are likely to force a re-examination of our views in many areas, from Greek philosophy through modern psychoanalysis.” ― Charles Griswold, Boston University
“A truly great work, and one that has had an incalculable impact upon me.” ― Henry B. Veatch
“Weiner explains the current convergence of ethical and mental health concepts as a rediscovery of the traditional idea of the unity of virtue and happiness, an idea distinctive of classical antiquity and best exemplified in the thought of Aristotle. The pattern of convergence he addresses is extremely important, and his explanations of this pattern are clear, persuasive, and original.” ― Michael Washburn, Indiana University at South Bend
