The moral theory of Virtue Ethics is interesting in the way it places more emphasis on character and less on the actions of the person who may perform those actions. I will focus on the issue of voluntary and active euthanasia in relation to the application of virtue ethics. To talk of someone voluntarily taking their own life is still abominable in many societies today. Historically‚ it was unthinkable and unethical to even consider asking a physician to help one take their own life. It is

Chapter 17: Virtue Ethics 17.3 I agree with Aristotle’s argument and conclusion that being virtuous person contributes so much to someone’s life with regards to going well.

Plato’s approach to virtue is strongly related to SocratesEserious dilemma: how can we ever learn what we do not know? There may be two alternatives for this question’s answer: we already know what we are looking for‚ in which case we don’t need to look‚ or we don’t know what we’re looking for‚ in which case we wouldn’t recognize it if we found it.

Aristotle originally introduced virtue Ethics to society in ancient Greek times. Virtue Ethics tells us that we should look at the character of the person instead of the actions or duties a person performs. Instead of concentrating on what is the right thing to do‚ virtue ethics asks how you can be a better person.
