1.Introduction: Vices and Virtue-Theory ; 2. 'Deadly Sins' ; 3. Envy and Covetousness ; 4. Self and Self-Consciousness ; 5. Pride and Anger ; 6. Interconnexions ; 7. 'Capital Vices' ; 8. Countervailing Virtues
Gabrielle Taylor presents a philosophical investigation of the 'ordinary' vices traditionally seen as 'death to the soul': sloth, envy, avarice, pride, anger, lust, and gluttony. In the course of a richly detailed discussion of individual and interrelated vices she shows why these 'deadly sins' are correctly so named and grouped together.
