Virtue ethics - Wikipedia

 While Sojuk possesses empathy, he lacks the effective execution required for full virtue. Brima demonstrates the complete realization of compassion by applying practical judgment to meet the specific needs of the suffering.

While I could totally vibe with #deontology (a little less so #consequentialism), I'm lowkey a #virtueethics stan. Ok, #Plato is a little elitist. But there's something so dreamy about cultivating virtues to live a beautiful life.

What do my #moralphilosophy girlies (and not-girlies) think?

Volume II of Al-Usūs wal-Munṭalaqāt — The Foundations and Premises of the Jurisprudence of Transitions — delivers the hermeneutical, historical, eschatological, and ethical pillars of one of Islamic scholarship's most ambitious contemporary frameworks. Drawing on classical Islamic jurisprudence, Peircean semiotics, Gadamerian hermeneutics, Weber's sociology of charisma, Piketty's political economy, and resilience science, the four essays in this volume build a complete, self-correcting system for Muslim communities navigating civilizational upheaval. Essay Five reveals why signs must be read as patterns and categories, never as specific identifications — and what information theory teaches about eschatological uncertainty. Essay Six applies the framework to real history: the late Ottoman Caliphate, the Arab Spring, and the financialization of global economies as prophetically illuminated phenomena. Essay Seven maps the detailed eschatology — the Mahdi, the Dajjāl, the return of Jesus, and Gog and Magog — through narrative theory and phenomenology, showing how the eschatological story functions as a community psychological resource. Essay Eight delivers the ethical destination: Manhaj al-Salāmah and Sunnat al-Mawāqif as virtue-ethics frameworks for standing firm, speaking carefully, and holding community together when the ground is shifting. #IslamicScholarship #IslamicThought #MuslimIntellectual #Fiqh #IslamicJurisprudence #Hermeneutics #ComparativeReligion #PoliticalTheology #VirtueEthics #CivilizationalStudies

Virtue is not the absence of pain.

Virtue is the ability to tolerate the right pain for the right reason.

The Moral Education of an Alien Mind What Claude's "Constitution" really is.

Anthropic's new "soul document" (what they're now calling a "constitution") that instructs Claude how to behave is "a virtue ethics manifesto that is Aristotelian to its core," says @alanrozenshtein.com at Lawfare

Quote of the Day “People don't do good things because they're good people. They become good people by doing good things, even when they initially may act out of vanity. The latter is only human nature.” — Rutger Bregman, "How to start a moral revolution," The Reith Lectures

Lead character is an irritating & narcissistic “philosopher.” Endlessly seeking revenge for perceived sleights & lacking #VirtueEthics.

🥹His students teach HIM to be a better person.

Ever heard of phronesis? Aristotle championed this practical wisdom—knowing *how* to live well, not just *what* is true. It’s why ethics isn’t just theory (Nicomachean Ethics). Still shapes leadership debates today! (Q2316040) #VirtueEthics #Aristotle

Why I believe in #virtueethics: moral agency is what gives rise to the subject matter of moral evaluation. Morally responsible agency for #compatibilists like me involves expressing/instantiating character attributes. Hence #virtue #ethics: a system which leaves the moral world as messy as it is.

I converted to Catholicism *right* before the Church sex scandal broke.

So I lapsed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I now do my own style of spirituality, but still respect & honor Jesus’ moral philosophy.

#VirtueEthics led me to Humanism.

#SecularHumanism is smart values & morality w/o religious “group think.” ZERO DOGMA.

The philosophical discussion that has been generated by, pun intended, generative AI needs to focus more on Aristotelian #virtueethics and its associated view of human nature.

6/10 And that’s what’s amazing about people. I don’t believe there are good people. Or bad people. Just people, and the choices we make. #Humanism #VirtueEthics

Finally, consider: Is “preferred indifference” just a way to enjoy wealth without attachment, or is it self-deception?

Compliance fails. Integrity gets co-opted.
If #Facebook wants to protect #privacy and serve the common good, it needs something deeper: character.

My latest paper argues for a #virtueethics approach as the missing third pillar.
