The Fabric of Character: Aristotle's Theory of… par Nancy Sherman
This book is very good. So good I will have to eviscerate it in my dissertation. It is a very very good interpretation of what Aristotle means by "character," especially insofar as it takes into account Aristotle's nuanced concept of prohairesis (roughly, choices that reveal character), and concludes--correctly IMHO--that good deliberation will always entail the coordination between emotions and reason.
If you would like a sympathetic interpretation of Kantian friendship, this is your book.
Saw Nancy Sherman interviewed tonight - very impressed. This book needs to be read. There are some video's of her talks about War - titles below, you can watch the full interview or just segments..
