However, that idea involves a serious underestimation of what patience is and why it matters. In On Patience, Matthew Pianalto revives a richer understanding of what patience is and why it is centrally important in both virtue theory and everyday life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from a wide range of philosophical and religious sources, Pianalto shows that our contemporary tendency to equate patience with waiting fails to do justice to other aspects of patience such as tolerance, perseverance, and the opposition of patience to anger. With this broader understanding of patience, Pianalto further shows how patience supports the development of other moral strengths, such as courage, justice, love, and hope. In these ways, On Patience sheds light on Franz Kafka's remark that, \"Patience is the master key to every situation,\" and Gregory the Great's perhaps surprising claim that, \"Patience is the root and guardian of all the virtues.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first book-length contemporary philosophical examination of patience will be of interest to students and scholars not just of virtue ethics, but also of moral philosophy more broadly.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew Pianalto is associate professor of philosophy at Eastern Kentucky University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 08, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43428172038211,"sku":"9781498528221","price":98.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/on-patience-reclaiming-a-foundational-virtue-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
