Virtue ethics (or aretaic ethics /ËaerÉËteÉªÉªk/ ËÃ¦rÉËteÉªÉªk from The greek) arete emphasizes the role of'one s character and the virtues that'one s character embodies for determining or evaluating ethical. behaviorossessing these virtues, in virtue ethics, is what makes one moral, and one's actions are a mere reflection of one's inner morality. To the virtue philosopher, action cannot be used as a demarcation of morality, because a virtue encompasses more than just a simple selection of action.
Aristotle emphasized that virtue is practical, and that the purpose of ethics is to become good, not merely to know. Aristotle also claims that the right course of action depends upon the details of a particular situation, rather than being generated merely by applying a law.
