Virtue ethics focuses on character development and moral wisdom rather than rules. It emphasizes virtues like courage, justice, and temperance. Virtues are developed through practice and help one achieve eudaimonia or human flourishing. While virtue ethics does not provide strict rules, virtues guide morally worthwhile action when applied with practical wisdom. Objections argue it is not codifiable, but responses claim rules of vice provide valuable guidance and virtues apply across cultures with moral disagreement on specifics.
