Question

Is impartiality a virtue? Compare the perspectives of virtue theory and ethics of care.

Answer 1

Virtue ethics focuses especially on the states of character of individuals, whereas the ethics of care concerns itself especially with caring relations. Virtue ethics is a philosophy developed by Aristotle and other ancient Greeks. ... This character-based approach to morality assumes that we acquire virtue through practice. By practicing being honest, brave, just, generous, and so on, a person develops an honorable and moral character.Virtue ethics is currently one of three major approaches in normative ethics. It may, initially, be identified as the one that emphasizes the virtues, or moral character, in contrast to the approach that emphasizes duties or rules (deontology) or that emphasizes the consequences of actions (consequentialism).So impartiality is surely a virtue.
