What influence did "Modern Moral Philosophy" have?

  • Egoism

  • Stoicism

  • Virtue ethics

  • Nihilism

Answer

Virtue ethics, as introduced in "Modern Moral Philosophy," emphasizes the cultivation of virtuous character traits, such as honesty, courage, and compassion, rather than focusing solely on the consequences of actions. This approach suggests that ethical behavior stems from being a virtuous person, rather than merely following a set of rules. By developing these positive qualities, individuals can make sound moral decisions and contribute to the overall flourishing of society.
