Virtue theory Learning plan #5 Don, Debby, Ashley

Virtue  A virtue is a trait that contributes to a person functioning well as a human being  A virtue is not just a feeling A person who “feels” brave but does not act on it is not brave  A virtue is not just doing a given action on a given occasion

Summary  The virtue theory focuses on attitudes, dispositions, or character traits that enable us to be and to act in ways that develop our human potential  Examples: honesty, courage, faithfulness, trustworthiness, integrity

Summary  our actions make us who we are

Contributions  Aristotle everything functions for a distinct purpose “For all things that have a function or activity, the good and the well is thought to reside in the function”

Contributions cont.. Human function  Rational self-regulation Humans are rational animals with reason

The Golden Mean Finding the middle between extremes of emotion or action  Example-courage is the middle of cowardice and foolhardiness couragecowardice foolhardiness

Contributions cont..  St. Thomas Aquinas Human function determines virtue’s greatness Reason brings us closer to god  Ultimate purpose Added theological virtues  Faith, hope and charity

Differences  St. Thomas Aquinas has a religious philosophy  function= serve god  Aristotle more interested in the science  function=self regulation

Criticisms of the theory  Neglects what people should be  Determines how we should act  Moral luck  Self-centeredness

Criticisms  Virtue ethics is criticized for not giving clear answers to ethical dilemmas, but it allows us each to make our own responses to situations life throws at us

Ethical dilemma  The use of steroids in sports Fair play Used among teens today

Ethical dilemma  Assisted suicide Virtues involved  sufferer: courage, humility  Families: caring, responsiveness, hospitality  Doctors must care for life (Hippocratic oath)

Deaths under Oregon's Physician Assisted Suicide Act  /10,000 total deaths  /10,000 total deaths

Questions  Do you think humans have a different function than self regulation?  What do you think is the down side of this theory?  Do you think people have the ability to change their virtues if born “morally unlucky”?
