There is growing evidence that when it comes to moral judgment, human beings appear to be best characterised not as intuitive Deontologists or Consequentialists but as intuitive virtue theorists. Critically analyse the statement.
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.
Conclusion
Thus, in the contemporary world rather than a 'we' of detached philosophy, one should adopt ethical pluralism.
