| Abstract: | "Character Trouble: Undisciplined Essays on Moral Agency and Personality" by John Doris is a collection of essays that challenges the traditional view of human character as fixed and independent of situational influences. Doris argues that character traits are more fluid and susceptible to external factors than commonly believed. He addresses objections to his perspective, including the replication crisis in social psychology, and explores the implications of empirical findings on virtue ethics and folk psychology. The text encourages further exploration and examination of these topics, suggesting that there may be a strong situationist undercurrent in how people perceive themselves and others.
