Virtue and Meaning -- an Interview with David McPherson

Interview with David McPherson, Associate Professor  at Creighton University.  We discuss his new book, Virtue and Meaning, which develops and defends a new theory of human nature – the human being as the meaning seeking creature – and explores its implications for ethical theory.  We discuss David's criticism of Aristotelian Naturalists such as Foot, Hursthouse, and MacIntyre, his alternative account of moral virtue and the good life,  and his view that Aristotelian moral philosophers need to develop accounts of the cosmic meaning of human life and of human spirituality.
