Not only does Miller provide the best and most up to date overview of the field that I know of. He also moves the discussion further, raises new and interesting questions and helps to steer the debate away from a number of dead ends. Metapsychology Christian Miller's book, together with its companion volume, Moral Character (2013), is among the most substantial - and among the very best - contributions to the virtue ethics and situationism debate. Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online Christian B. Miller is an astute analytic philosopher who can be relied upon to write penetratingly about any subject he addresses ... Miller tackles quite specific questions, mostly having to do with situationist challenges to the notion of moral character; but he does so with a degree of clarity, insight and originality rarely seen before in the field ... This is one of those books that is difficult to overpraise. Kristjan Kristjansson, Journal of Moral Education Christian Miller's two volumes, Moral Character: An Empirical Theory and Character and Moral Psychology, offer a comprehensive review of psychological research and theory concerning moral character traits and the influence of situational variables on moral behavior. They are essential reading for psychologists and philosophers whose work concerns moral character, moral development, or moral action. Miller challenges long accepted understandings of virtue and vice, offering a novel alternative grounded in recent empirical research.
