Admiration is a central but much neglected ethical notion. This new book edited by Alfred Archer and Andre Grahle helps to make up for this neglect. A much needed and very welcome volume.

There is much to admire in this richly nuanced, interdisciplinary investigation into the nature and significance of admiration. This volume is a delightful and informative read, full of engaging, real-life examples and thought-provoking claims on the difference between admiration and envy, on its (limited) role in moral upbringing, and on the thin line between useful admiration and harmful worshipping.
