Pierre blanche lancée dans le jardin des études classiques, La Fragilité du bien en dépasse largement le cadre pour ­s’ancrer avec force dans le débat contemporain sur l’action éthique et politique. Qu’en est-il de l’être humain exposé à la fortune (Tuchè) dans la pensée éthique des grands Tragiques (Eschyle, Sophocle, Euripide), de Platon et d’Aristote? Quel rôle tient cette fortune dans la formation de la vertu ou du bon caractère? Quelle relation y a-t-il entre le fait d’être une personne bonne et celui de parvenir à vivre et agir selon le bien? Un livre ­classique, paru pour la première fois en 1986, « immensément riche et ­stimulant » (Charles Taylor), qui montre l’extraordinaire actualité de la tragédie et de la ­philosophie grecques quand il s’agit de penser l’événement moral de notre société contemporaine et qui permet de mieux comprendre l’œuvre d’une philosophe américaine parmi les plus ­originales de sa génération

Ethics in Aesop’s Fables: the Augustana Collection offers an original and innovative analysis of the Greek fable in the framework of Greek ethical thinking. The book starts with a brief account of the history and genre of the Greek fable. It then focuses on the Augustana collection of prose fables and analyses its ethical content in the larger context of Greek thought. A detailed comparison of Greek ethical thinking with the language of the fables shows the persistence of certain types of ethical reasoning and of certain key ethical norms. The author argues that although the fable was not 'philosophy', it was indeed 'philosophical' because it communicated normative messages about human behaviour, which reflected widespread views in Greek ethical thought. This book is of special interest to both students and scholars of Greek fable and of Greek philosophy.

Homeric Morality is an attempt to answer two questions: whether or not the Homeric gods are concerned with 'justice' in human society, and what mechanism controls the social behaviour of Homeric man. It shows that the gods distribute good and bad fortune to men not in response to their moral behaviour, bus as required by fate; men, however, believe that the gods are concerned with human morality, and subsequently their behaviour is restrained by their faith in the moral gods as well as by many other forces, social and emotional. This volume, taken as a whole, serves as a sustained critique of two influential works in the field, The Justice of Zeus by H. Lloyd- Jones and Merit and Responsibility by A.W.H. Adkins.
