Being Virtuous and Doing the Right Thing
Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association 78 (2):61 - 75 (2003)
Abstract
It is sometimes argued that virtue ethics is incapable of 'telling us what to do'. I explore what this could mean, and come to the conclusion that virtue ethics does enable this, in the only sense in which it is something which we would reasonably want in an ethical theory.Author's Profile
