ABSTRACT

This study examines Stanley Hauerwas’s virtue ethics, particularly his concept of habit, focusing on its reception and potential application in Korean academia. Hauerwas has developed Christian virtue ethics based on character, narrative, and communal tradition, influenced by Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and Alasdair MacIntyre. His ethics emphasizes the formation of ethical life through concrete community stories and practices rather than abstract principles, thereby critiquing modern enlightenment ethical approaches based on individualism and rationalism. This research analyzes how Hauerwas’s concept of habit in virtue ethics can contribute to modern Christian ethics and explores how it can be actualized within the practices of faith communities. Through this investigation, this paper proposes the need for broader discussion and research on virtue ethics in Korean theological discourse.
