On Manners by Karen Stohr
Karen Stohr draws primarily on Aristotle and Kant while referring to a wide range of cultural examplesfrom Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice to Larry Davids Curb Your Enthusiasmto argue that good manners are an essential component of moral character."Intelligible and interesting to the lay reader; yet scholarly enough for the professional ethicist, On Manners is Karen Stohr’s elegant calling cardI trust that the other public intellectuals will return the visit by reading the book." –Howard Curzer, Texas Tech University
"Drawing on Austen, Kant, and Seinfeld, blending powerful and precise thought with graceful and inviting prose, Karen Stohr has written a book that is not only wise, but warmly hospitable. When you read it, you’ll learn just how very important that is." –James Nelson, Michigan State University
