Study On The Virtuous Agent Of Hursthouse

With the rise of virtue ethics,more scholars began to pay attention to this school.Whether it can perfectly avoid the defects of utilitarianism and deontology and propose better rules to guide people's behavior is worth exploring.As one of the representatives of contemporary virtue ethics,Hursthouse gives a relatively complete exposition:the basis for people to do good and the possibility of doing good.Heidegger combines the characteristics of contemporary virtue ethics,explores the rules from the actor himself,presupposes a perfect"virtue actor",and explains why ordinary people are good from the standard of "he".From the perspective of the formation of the problem of virtue actor,contemporary virtue ethicists believe that many problems existing in utilitarianism and deontology are rooted in the neglect of emotion and the abuse of rational instrumentalization.It is necessary to return to Aristotle's virtue ethics and interpret the way out of today's problems with Aristotle's theory.The theoretical system of"virtue actor"proposed by Hursthouse is based on the ethical return of virtue initiated by Anscombe and supported by Aristotle's theory.From the perspective of the connotation of the virtuous actor,one will be elaborated as the objective basis for the purpose of the virtuous person,which is obtained from the analysis of the four purposes of plants and animals.Secondly,the paper analyzes the relationship between the reason of virtue doer's behavior and human purpose.Thirdly,the theory of virtue behavior rules and dilemma solutions and the reasons for their establishment are expounded.The last part is the elaboration of the critical views of virtuous actors in the academic circle.Does virtue ethics need an unbiased view and the existence of the spirit of sacrifice?Secondly,the author of the Hursthouse theory of virtue questioned the actor must be caught in relativism predicament and virtue system internal chaos.In short,Hursthouse tried to solve the controversial moral problems by combining Aristotle's theory with the current situation.Although there are inevitable theoretical contradictions,which need to be further improved,to a certain extent,he promoted the development of virtue ethics school.
