This book explores the place of limits within a well-lived human life and develops and defends an original account of limiting virtues, which are concerned with recognizing proper limits in human life. In The Virtues of Limits, David McPherson offers us an historically rich and philosophically robust defence of the idea that humans flourish only when and insofar as they recognize and abide by certain well-founded constraints. What is particularly valuable about his treatment is that it demonstrates how the importance of such constraints is evidenced across different domains: existential, moral, political, and economic. The cogency of this demonstration is matched only by its timeliness, given that our time is one that finds constraints as such increasingly hard to rationalize.
