Ever feel like the days of virtue, honor, and overall goodness as prized societal values are a bit…bygone? Historian David Wootton believes you’re not imagining it. In his recent, sweeping review of four centuries of western thought, Wootton catalogues what he sees as a significant shift from Aristotelian, religious, and morality-based ethics to a value system in which a person’s “virtue” is increasingly defined by their capacity to amass goods in the form of power, pleasure, and profit. This new standard begs the question: Are we actually less good, the better we become?
