Virtue Theory of Ethics is incomplete: insofar as it focuses on character, it neglects addressing how we ought to act. Is this charge successful?
It has been charged that the Virtue Theory of Ethics is incomplete: insofar as it focuses on character, it neglects addressing how we ought to act. Is this charge successful? If not, why? If the charge is successful, though, is there any way to augment or supplement Virtue Theory in order to provide an account of how we ought to act? … In a short essay (500-700 words), discuss the above matter, taking a stand on the relationship between Virtue Theory and morally correct action. Your discussion should demonstrate a familiarity with the basics of the Virtue Theory of Ethics, with special emphasis on Rachels’ discussion in sections 12.4 and 12.5 of his book.
