Q

What is virtue ethics?

A

-Virtue ethics is an agent-centred ethical theory developed by Aristotle that focuses on a person’s character rather than on rules (like deontology) or consequences (like utilitarianism)
-It teaches that being moral means developing good habits (virtues) through practice and reason, aiming to achieve eudaimonia (a state of flourishing or the best kind of life)
