For philosophers and students exploring ethics and virtue

Questions Aristotle's view on virtue and its implications

You will gain a new perspective on character and morality

Uneasy Virtue challenges traditional views on virtue with fresh insights.

Driver challenges Aristotle's classical theory of virtue, arguing that it fails to take into account virtues that do seem to involve ignorance or epistemic defect. Modesty, for example, is generally considered to be a virtue even though the modest person may be making an inaccurate assessment of his or her accomplishments. She argues that we should abandon the highly intellectualist view of virtue and instead adopt a consequentialist perspective that holds that virtue is simply a character trait that systematically produces good consequences.
