Virtue Ethics

Virtue ethics focuses on how to be a good person. Virtues are good or desirable human characteristics, such as courage and honesty. Virtue ethics then concentrates upon which characteristics one should have or develop to be a moral person. Whereas other ethical theories concentrate on the question how to act or how to make the right decision, virtue ethics is thus about having the right character.

Virtues

A virtue is an excellent character trait or quality, such as courage, honesty and creativity. Virtues are expressed in action, and practice is essential: just as you need to practice drawing in order to become a designer, you need to practice in acting virtuously in order to cultivate virtues. To truly ‘possess’ a virtue means it is deeply ingrained in your personality – you cannot have half a virtue. A courageous person is not just occasionally courageous. A person who sometimes keeps his promise does not have the virtue of trustworthiness.
