Justice as the Virtue of Respect
Function, Fitness, Flourishing
A naturalistic theory of moral realism, based on ancient Greek eudaimonism, is presented using concepts from biological and evolutionary theory. The general empirical claim is that each species evolves traits which promote flourishing in those individual members who develop them. Using biological analogies, Plato (Repub 352d–354c) and Aristotle (NE 1097b21–1098a20) gave their ergon arguments defending the functional excellence of the virtues and …
The Oxford Handbook of Moral Realism
Morality seems to play a special role in human life distinct from conventional norms, like those of etiquette, or simple preferences based on subjective tastes. There are various theories of the foundations of morality, some of which treat morality as “subjective” in an important way. “Moral realism” is, however, a family of theories that take morality to have an objective factual basis, such that morality is not “up to us” and is not “under our …

Virtues are excellences
One of the few points of unquestioned agreement in virtue theory is that the virtues are supposed to be excellences. One way to understand this is to claim that the virtues always yield correct moral action and that we cannot be “too virtuous”: the virtues cannot be had in excess or “to a fault”. If we take this seriously, however, it yields the surprising conclusion that many traits which have been traditionally thought of as “virtues” fail to m…
Naturalistic Moral Realism and Evolutionary Biology
Perhaps the most familiar understanding of “naturalism” derives from Quine, understanding it as a continuity of empirical theories of the world as described through the scientific method. So, it might be surprising that one of the most important naturalistic moral realists, Philippa Foot, rejects standard evolutionary biology in her justly lauded Natural Goodness. One of her main reasons for this is the true claim that humans can flourish (eudaim…

Justice as a Self‐Regarding Virtue
1. Justice has long stood out among the virtues as being an ''otherregarding'' virtue.As Michael Thompson writes, ''The mark of this special virtue of human agents [justice], as Aristotle says, is that it is ''toward another'', pros heteron or pros allon; it is, as St. Thomas says, ad alterum, or as Kant says, gegen einen Anderen.'' 1 Justice is conceived as being beneficial to others, as compared to courage, temperance, and wisdom, which are com…

Virtue Epistemology and the Epistemology of Virtue
The ancient Greeks almost universally accepted the thesis that virtues are skills.Skills have an underlying intellectual structure (logos), and having a particular skill entails understanding the relevant logos, possessing a general ability to diagnose and solve problems (phronesis), as well as having appropriate experience.Two implications of accepting this thesis for moral epistemology and epistemology in general are considered.Thinking of virt…
