Description

Explore new directions in moral philosophy with Target Centred Virtue Ethics from Oxford University Press. This work examines the contemporary landscape of virtue ethics, which is currently dominated by neo-Aristotelian theories developed by Rosalind Hursthouse. While eudaimonistic virtue ethics has been ground breaking, it has faced significant critical attention. In this text, Christine Swanton argues that the field is ready for new developments and alternatives. Her proposed target centred virtue ethics challenges orthodox views in two primary ways. Most notably, she rejects the natural goodness metaphysics associated with Philippa Foot in favor of a hermeneutic ontology. This book provides a necessary shift in perspective for students and scholars studying ethics and morality.
