Interest in theories of virtue and the place of virtues in the
moral life con- tinues to grow. Nicolai Hartmann [7], George F.
Thomas [20], G. E. M. Anscombe [1], and G. H. von Wright [21], for
example, called to our atten- tion decades ago that virtue had
become a neglected topic in modem ethics. The challenge implicit in
these sorts of reminders to rediscover the contribu- tion that the
notion of virtue can make to moral reasoning, moral character, and
moral judgment has not gone unattended. Arthur Dyck [3] , P. T.
Geach [5], Josef Pieper (16], David Hamed [6], and, most notably,
Stanley Hauerwas [8-11], in the theological community, have
analyzed or utilized in their work virtue-based theories of
morality. Philosophical probings have come from Lawrance Becker
[2], Philippa Foot [4], Edmund Pincoffs [17], James Wallace [22],
and most notably, Alasdair MacIntyre [12-14]. Draw- ing upon and
revising mainly ancient and medieval sources, these and other
commentators have ignited what appears to be the beginning of a
sustained examination of virtue.
