Virtue ethics

A normative ethical tradition, originating with Aristotle, that grounds morality in character traits (virtues) rather than in rules (deontology) or outcomes (consequentialism). The right action is what a person of good character would do; ethical development is the cultivation of dispositions like courage, honesty, and practical wisdom. The tradition runs from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics through Aquinas and the medieval scholastics to a vigorous twentieth-century revival led by Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, and Alasdair MacIntyre.
