normative ethical theories in which the cultivation of certain virtues plays a central role

holds that people should strive to develop good moral characters or to be virtuous people One can acquire these good moral characters, otherwise known as virtues, through education, training, and practice Since virtues psychological and behavioral habits, constant practice is the key to becoming virtuous A person becomes virtuous by repeatedly performing the right acts for the right reasons Some frequently mentioned virtues include courage, compassion, sympathy, honesty, charity, humility, patience, loyalty, justice, forgiveness, moderation, and integrity

Normative theory that all moral value is derived from the character of moral agents Aristotle and many medieval Christians assumed that the acquisition of virtue is the proper goal of human conduct, though they differed significantly in their valuation of particular virtues Rejecting the impersonality of moral judgments in the ethical theories of Kant and Mill, contemporary virtue ethicists emphasize the achievement of a meaningful life Recommended Reading: Nichomachean Ethics, tr by Terence Irwin (Hackett, 1985) {at Amazon com}; Virtue Ethics, ed by Roger Crisp and Michael Slote (Oxford, 1997) {at Amazon com}; Virtue Ethics: A Critical Reader, ed by Daniel Statman (Georgetown, 1997) {at Amazon com}; Rosalind Hursthouse, On Virtue Ethics (Oxford, 2000) {at Amazon com}; and Christine McKinnon, Character, Virtue Theories, and the Vices (Broadview, 1999) {at Amazon com} Also see IEP, noesis, and Moira M Walsh

any theory that sees the primary focus of ethics to be the character of the person rather than that person's actions or duties

Approach to ethics that takes the notion of virtue (often conceived as excellence) as fundamental. Virtue ethics is primarily concerned with traits of character that are essential to human flourishing, not with the enumeration of duties. It falls somewhat outside the traditional dichotomy between deontological ethics and consequentialism: It agrees with consequentialism that the criterion of an action's being morally right or wrong lies in its relation to an end that has intrinsic value, but more closely resembles deontological ethics in its view that morally right actions are constitutive of the end itself and not mere instrumental means to the end. See also eudaemonism

in ethics, the position that the moral life should be concerned with cultivating a virtuous character rather than following rules of action
