Virtue Ethics: The Character of the Agent

While other theories focus on the action or the outcome, Virtue Ethics—pioneered by ancient philosophers like Aristotle—focuses entirely on the character and disposition of the person performing the action.

• The Core Meaning: Instead of asking "What should I do?", Virtue Ethics asks "What kind of person should I become?" Morality is not about memorizing a list of rules; it is about cultivating good habits of character, known as virtues (such as courage, temperance, justice, honesty, and wisdom). Aristotle emphasized the Golden Mean, which suggests that a virtue is always the perfect balance between two extremes: deficiency and excess.
  • Example: Courage is the virtuous middle ground between Cowardice
