Book Description
In The Principle of Excellence, Nimi Wariboko deconstructs the traditional, depoliticized meaning of virtue, providing a thorough reading of the debates, conceptual struggles, and ambiguities used by virtue ethicists to produce today's conception of excellence. He presents a new meaning of excellence, explaining the ways communities can use excellence as the organizing principle for their political and economic development, and exploring how large-scale modern societies can be better administered in environments characterized by contingency and possibilities. Also examined within this book is the connection between excellence and creativity. If excellence is the drive toward actualization of potentialities for all human beings, it follows that human creativity is a form of that drive. Wariboko reveals the mystery at work in both personal and communal creative functions, showing how the creative functions of human life can express the unconditional eras of divine creativity. The Principle of Excellence brings afresh and provocative perspective to some of philosophy and theology's oldest concerns; truth, beauty, justice, love, hope, and the eschatological New Creation.
