When a Virtue is Not a Virtue: Conditional Virtues in Moral Evaluation
Social Cognition, 2014Four studies show that people distinguish between two sorts of moral virtues: core goodness traits that unconditionally enhance the morality of any agent, and value commitment traits that are conditionally good (i.e., that polarize the morality of good and bad agents).

Afin de montrer que la docilite est la vertu de toutes les vertus et qu'elle profite d'une preeminence sur toutes les autres, l'A. se propose: 1) de situer brievement la resurgence de l'ethique de la vertu dans le domaine de la theorie ethique represente par Levinas et Pincoffs, 2) d'examiner la place de la docilite dans l'ethique de la vertu inauguree

Behavioural Processes, 2010
Although ignorance and uncertainty are usually unwelcome feelings, they have unintuitive advantages for both human and non-human animals, which we review here. We begin with the perils of too much information: expertise and knowledge can come with illusions (and delusions) of knowing.

Nietzsche: Virtue Ethics. . . Virtue Politics?
The Journal of Nietzsche Studies, 2006Aristotelian notion of megalopsychia found in Nicomachean Ethics and the figure of the Ubermensch. I will approach this connection in a variety of ways in the first section of my essay and will show how we must go beyond Kaufmann. If one chooses to dismiss the connection between Aristotle’s and Nietzsche’s ethics, as I will do, this does not mean that ...

The Virtues of Scholarship and the Virtues of Political Action
Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, 2009Many bioethicists are involved in political advocacy groups as well as scholarship, and this has led to controversy. The virtues that enable scholarship to flourish are in tension with those that are vital for effective participation in political advocacy groups. This produces conflicts for bioethicists that are as serious as financial conflicts of

C. M. Korsgaard’s Kantianism allows, as the contribution aims to show, for a central role of virtue inside a Kantian framework. We always act in the light of practical identities – self-conceptions under which we value ourselves. To be moral means to be a member in the Kingdom of Ends, contribute to other’s well-being and strive for one’s own ...
