Receptive Human Virtues
A New Reading of Jonathan Edwards's Ethics
Elizabeth Agnew Cochran
This book offers a new reading of Jonathan Edwards&’s virtue ethic that examines a range of qualities Edwards identifies as &“virtues&” and considers their importance for contemporary ethics. Each of Edwards&’s human virtues is &“receptive&” in nature: humans acquire the virtues through receiving divine grace, and therefore depend utterly on Edwards&’s God for virtue&’s acquisition. By contending that humans remain authentic moral agents even as they are unable to attain virtue apart from his God&’s assistance, Edwards challenges contemporary conceptions of moral responsibility, which tend to emphasize human autonomy as a central part of accountability.
