Virtue and Action: Selected Papers
Rosalind Hursthouse is a key figure in the twentieth-century revival of virtue ethics. Her On Virtue Ethics was one of the first—and remains one of the best—systematic developments of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics (Hursthouse 1999). But Hursthouse has also written a number of important essays that not only clarify and extend the argument of that book but also take her distinctive approach to ethics into new territory. Julia Annas and Jeremy Reid…
Neither Heroes nor Saints: Ordinary Virtue, Extraordinary Virtue, and Self-Cultivation
Most of us are far from perfect in virtue. Faced with this fact, moral philosophers can respond in two different ways. On the one hand they might insist that the only real virtue is perfect virtue, and the only right actions are perfectly virtuous ones. Any failure to meet the exacting standards of perfect virtue will amount to vice, and any less than perfectly virtuous actions will be wrong. On the other hand, and if they reject such a rigorist …
Neo-Aristotelian Supererogation
I develop and defend the following neo-Aristotelian account of supererogation: an action is supererogatory if and only if it is overall virtuous and either (a) the omission of an overall virtuous action in that situation would not be overall vicious or (b) there is some overall virtuous action that is less virtuous than it and whose performance in its place would not be overall vicious. I develop this account from within the virtue-ethical tradit…
A Dilemma for Particularist Virtue Ethics
There is an obvious affinity between virtue ethics and particularism. Both stress the complexity of the moral life, the inadequacy of rule‐following as a guide to moral deliberation, and the importance of judgement in discerning the morally relevant features of particular situations. Yet it remains an open question how deep the affinity goes. I argue that the radical form of particularism defended by Jonathan Dancy has surprisingly strong implica…
