ABSTRACT

Michael Slote suggests the Common Sense Virtue Ethics with systematic structure in Moral evaluations, by which Virtue Ethics in general is affected. There have occurred a lot of controversies by his rationales being suggested in defending his own virtue ethics, for example, aretaic terms like asymmetry or the admirable, and undetermination in utilitarianism. I will introduce these controversies and answer to the opposite arguments about Slote’s rationales in this paper, in order to show his virtue ethics standing for these opposite views. So in this paper, though not clearly, I will show that Slote’s virtue ethics is still viewed as a valuable theory of virtue.
