"In The Virtues of Our Vices, philosopher Emrys Westacott takes a fresh look at important
everyday ethical questions--and comes up with surprising answers. He makes a compelling
argument that some of our most common vices--rudeness, gossip, snobbery, tasteless
humor, and disrespect for others' beliefs--often have hidden virtues or serve unappreciated
but valuable purposes."--P. [2] of jacket
