Virtue ethics is closely associated with religious traditions. Most religions are interested in the whole person They believe that all aspects of a person should be developed They believe that actions alone do not define a person You should develop certain characteristics in order to become a good person.

Aristotle is embraced within Christianity. Aquinas created the Cardinal virtues and the seven deadly sins through study of Aristotle. These have been integrated into natural law and are part of catholic theological and moral understanding.

During the 13 th Century Aquinas was introduced to the writings of Aristotle. Through his Christian writings four of Aristotle's virtues became known as the cardinal values. These are; Prudence Justice Fortitude Temperance They are related to one another and are needed for each other.

Later appeared the ‘seven cardinal vices’ or the Five of which appeared in Aristotle’s list. These were considered wrong for the person and society. They are still in use today. This development of Aristotle demonstrates the importance of his theory for understanding virtue.

Christianity is centred around helping other people. The Christian adoption of these virtues demonstrate how important virtues are for helping people as a community. As mentioned earlier Aristotle stressed the importance of the community in moral development. The best people in society are interested in the development of the community as a whole. A person who achieves eudaimonia will be interested in developing the community as a whole. Helping them reach the end goal.

Hindu thinking is concerned with virtue or right conduct. Buddhism compassion (a key virtue) is the most important Buddhist virtue that is to be improved on all the time. Both Buddhism and Hinduism are concerned with the nature of a person. Becoming whole and from this releasing your burden with the world. Motivations are important because they influence Karma.

Sikhism is also concerned with virtue. There are five virtues. 1.Sat – truth 2.Santokh – contentment 3.Daya – compassion 4.Nimrata – humilty 5.Pyare – love The ultimate goal is for their soul to merge with God and to achieve this you have to work hard at improving the virtues.

Virtue ethics is a moral theory. No religion would give up their rules in favour of it. Natural law would oppose any subjectivism in ethics. The church is sole legislator. The same for Islam. Therefore, despite being involved with aspects as a whole theory they will not accept it.

Virtue ethics has a teleological dimension in that it is concerned with an idea of an end for human beings (the virtuous person) and an end for the human family of society (the virtues of the community). It is focused on the end goal of humanity. The final purpose of being. Virtue ethics takes elements from both sides but it does not fit comfortably into either category.
