What are the differences between consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics?
Interesting. Can you tell me more about virtue ethics?
Virtue ethics focuses on the moral character of the person performing the action rather than the action itself. It emphasizes the development of good habits, or virtues, such as honesty or compassion, which help people make moral decisions. An example might be a person who always tells the truth because they value honesty as a virtue, even if telling the truth could harm them or others.
