This volume provides a clear and accessible overview of central
concepts, positions, and arguments in virtue ethics today. While it
focuses primarily on Aristotelian virtue ethics, it also includes
discussion of alternative forms of virtue ethics (sentimentalism
and pluralism) and competing normative theories (consequentialism
and deontology). The first six chapters are organized around
central questions in normative ethics that are of particular
concern to virtue ethicists and their critics: What is virtue
ethics? What makes a trait a virtue? Is there a link between virtue
and happiness? What is involved in being well-motivated? What is
practical wisdom? What makes an action right? The last four
chapters focus on important challenges or objections to virtue
ethics: Can virtue ethics be applied to particular moral problems?
Does virtue ethics ultimately rely on moral principles? Can it
withstand the situationist critique? What are the prospects for an
environmental virtue ethics?
