Description
Virtue Ethics explores the ethics of character and character formation, a philosophical approach that focuses on the development of good character traits. This agent-centred theory contrasts with rule-based ethical theories, which prioritize adherence to moral rules.
In this framework, virtues are understood as dispositions or inclinations of character, shaped by habitual practices and linked to an individual's will. By examining these concepts, Virtue Ethics offers insights into the nature of human morality and the importance of cultivating good character.
