Description
This Element provides an overview of the central components of recent work in virtue ethics. It explores key themes in neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics and major alternative theoretical perspectives, before examining two challenges to virtue ethics.
The discussion addresses the self-centeredness or egoism objection, which questions whether certain kinds of virtue ethics prioritize individual flourishing over others' concerns. Additionally, it considers situationist challenges to the idea that virtues exist and that personality is integrated enough to support them.
