Main Body

In all of the world and all of the life, there is nothing more important, than to determine what is right - C.I. Lewis. Virtue theorists - Benefits: 1) virtues are the character traits of moral excellency that ensures consistent behaviour => goodness as a secret of intuitive imperatives. 2) Intuitive virtue theorists argue that moral actions are those done by good people => goodness as a secret of intuitive imperatives. 3) establishes human growth and navigating challenges. Eg: courage => helped Nelson Mandela to live in captivity for his belief Challenges of weak conscience [contextual difficulties] [weak conscience]: Virtues can be extreme => bad decisions. Some also believe in intuitive deontology => Kant considers duty to be paramount, and consequences are not important to judge the moral worth of an action. Eg: Gandhi believed in just means to produce just ends and deviation to duty. Consequentialist => only the outcomes matter and two moral worth of intentions or virtue.

Eg: Replacement of Pujabs for Vedanta mining. Thus, in the contemporary world rateu than a 'we' of detached philosophy, one should adopt ethical pluralism.
