The Retrieval of Ethics is a 2009 book by Talbot Brewer in which the author tries to re-examine the history of ethics from ancient Greek philosophy to the present and “retrieve” the strengths of the Ancients in order to provide a radical reconception of moral philosophy and its role in life.
Brewer's ideas have been criticized by different scholars including Lorraine Besser-Jones, Bradford Cokelet, Christopher Cordner, Mark LeBar and Tamar Schapiro.[1][2][3][4][5]
