Abstract

Recently some philosophers have claimed that work in social psychology undermines virtue ethics by showing that it rests on a false conception of our moral psychology. I argue that these attacks misconceive what virtue is, and that a more accurate understanding of virtue shows that the philosophers' attacks fail and that virtue ethics can welcome the psychologists' findings.
