Abstract
If there is such a thing as a virtuous community, as Aristotle would have it, and if members of communities need to understand themselves in relation to community, then we have a large space from within which to grapple with the issues of responsibility. Iris Marion Young developed a social connection model of justice which requires individuals to think outside of the borders of any one society when considering their responsibility to others. Donald Beggs advocates for a moral virtue, seeing the possibility of the development of virtuous characteristics of groups separate from their individual members. Combining these two ideas, I argue that it is possible to conceive of a society's responsibility as one of developing such group virtues as will respond to the structural injustices of our interconnected world.
