Intelligent Virtue presents a distinctive new account of virtue and
happiness as central ethical ideas. Annas argues that exercising a
virtue involves practical reasoning of a kind which can
illuminatingly be compared to the kind of reasoning we find in
someone exercising a practical skill. Rather than asking at the
start how virtues relate to rules, principles, maximizing, or a
final end, we should look at the way in which the acquisition and
exercise of virtue can be seen to be in many ways like the
acquisition and exercise of more mundane activities, such as
farming, building or playing the piano. This helps us to see virtue
as part of an agent's happiness or flourishing, and as constituting
(wholly, or in part) that happiness. We are offered a better
understanding of the relation between virtue as an ideal and virtue
in everyday life, and the relation between being virtuous and doing
the right thing.
