This paper analyses the contribution of virtue ethics, the study of good character traits, to the humanitarian context. It argues that a virtue ethics perspective paints a realistic picture of the use of ethical standards in morally complex circumstances. Virtuous relief workers can employ standards in their thinking, but they are also committed to professional excellence that goes beyond any formal code. The concept of virtue ethics places a stress on moral development, which can be facilitated by role models that impart modest and feasible ideals. However, virtue ethics cannot provide simple guidelines on how to resolve difficult situations. It is possible that two virtuous persons can disagree on what should be done in a particular instance. In addition, a virtue ethics perspective emphasises the need for both individuals and organisations to discuss the actual purpose of relief work in order to pinpoint the virtues of a good relief professional. 相似文献

It is widely recognized that our social and moral environments influence our actions and belief formations. We are never fully
immune to the effects of cultural membership. What is not clear, however, is whether these influences excuse average moral
agents who fail to scrutinize conventional norms. In this paper, I argue that the lack of extensive public debate about factory
farming and, its corollary, extreme animal suffering, is probably due, in part, to affected ignorance. Although a complex
phenomenon because of its many manifestations, affected ignorance is morally culpable because it involves a choice not to
investigate whether some practice in which one participates in might be immoral. I contend further that James Montmarquet’s
set of intellectual virtues can provide a positive account of what it means to act as a responsible moral agent while immersed
in a meat eating culture; they also represent the moral and epistemic framework for the kind of public discourse that should
be taking place. 相似文献
