The Good Life. By Herbert McCabe. Continuum, $15.95 paperback.
This is the third posthumous volume to be gleaned from McCabe's papers. Like all of the Dominican theologian's works, his essays on ethics are concise and illuminating, and they creatively pass on the tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas. Living the good life involves "learning to want some things rather than others, learning to enjoy some things rather than others"; it means "coming to recognize a generous act as praiseworthy just as we come to recognize a particular move in football as excellent."
