The Collapse of Virtue Ethics

Brad Hooker

Utilitas, 2002, vol. 14, issue 1, 22-40

Abstract: Virtue ethics is normally taken to be an alternative to consequentialist and Kantian moral theories. I shall discuss what I think is the most interesting version of virtue ethics – Rosalind Hursthouse's. I shall then argue that her version is inadequate in ways that suggest revision in the direction of a kind of rule-consequentialism.
