On Neo-aristotelianism Virtue Ethics

It has been more than 60 years since the publication of modern moral philosophy by Anscombe in 1958.In this 60 years,based on represented by utilitarianism,deontology,normative ethics and represented by emotionalism,subjectivism of metaethics and other modern moral philosophy,the contemporary virtue ethicists on a critical basis and use classical resources of moral philosophy to construct their own theory of virtue ethics.Among them,the " neo-Aristotelianism virtue ethics",which inherits and innovates Aristotle's resources,has the most extensive influence and the most mature construction.But in what sense does neo-Aristotelianism virtue ethics innovate Aristotle's intellectual resources? By examining the construction of neo-Aristotelianism,it can be found that neo-Aristotelianism inherits Aristotle's interpretation of the concept of "virtue",but in the way of proving virtue,neo-Aristotelianism opens up the modern route of virtue of historical narration and ethical naturalism.Neo-Aristotelianism is also committed to elucidating the normalization of virtue,so that the virtue theory has a better ability to guide behavior.The way of construction reflects the purport of neo-Aristotelianismtheory.As a virtue ethics of eudaimonism,neo-Aristotelianism reconstructs Aristotle's teleological framework.It emphasizes the importance of practical wisdom,insists on the unity of virtue,and tries to synthesize and absorb the normative ethics of Kant,Hume and Mill in the context of the pluralism of reason.Neo-Aristotelianism,with its openness and innovation,can solve the practical problems in the construction of virtue ethics.Virtue ethics is challenged by situationism,relativism and essentialism respectively in virtue realism,objectivity and the use of teleology.The author integrates the resources of neo-Aristotelianism virtue ethics and proposes a new Aristotelian response to the above crisis.
