Abstract

The expression ‘virtue ethics’ denotes a relatively loose tradition of ethical thinking that, in the West, stems from Aristotle (and to a lesser extent Plato) and, in the East, has identifiable roots in Chinese philosophy, particularly Confucianism. In more recent Western philosophy, virtue ethics became largely moribund after the Enlightenment (although was certainly the dominant approach before that), and stayed that way until it was revived, almost single-handedly, by Elizabeth Anscombe’s article ‘Modern moral philosophy’.1
