Moral Realism

The concept of moral realism and character-based ethics emphasizes the importance of virtues in defining a good person. Living a virtuous life entails embodying virtues such as temperance, fortitude, justice, and prudence.

Moral Realism

The three questions

The modern philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre proposed three questions as being at the heart of moral thinking:
How ought I to get there?
Who ought I to become?
Who am I?

Character-based ethics

A good person is someone who lives virtuously - who possesses and lives the virtues.
A right act is the action a virtuous person would do in the same circumstances.

Lists of the virtues

The traditional list of cardinal virtues was:
Temperance
Fortitude / Bravery
Justice
Prudence

Principles

Virtue ethics teaches:
A virtue is a moral characteristic that a person needs to live well.
A person acts virtuously if they "possess and live the virtues"
A virtuous person is a person who acts virtuously
An action is only right if it is an action that a virtuous person would carry out in the same circumstances.
