An individual’sbehaviour is governed not by a set of ‘global’ traits, each elicited by a certain kind of situati<strong>on</strong>al feature,they argue, but by a much larger array of ‘local’ traits, each elicited by a certain combinati<strong>on</strong> of situati<strong>on</strong>alfeatures. But the data cited by these philosophers support their theory <strong>on</strong>ly if we c<strong>on</strong>ceive of traits purely interms of stimulus and resp<strong>on</strong>se, rather than in the more traditi<strong>on</strong>al terms of inner mental items such asinclinati<strong>on</strong>s. We should not adopt the former c<strong>on</strong>cepti<strong>on</strong>, moreover, since doing so would impede pursuit ofthe ethical aims for which we need a theory of character, whereas retaining the latter c<strong>on</strong>cepti<strong>on</strong> willfacilitate this pursuit. So we should not revise our understanding of character in the way proposed.”102 „Der heutige Mensch steht im Spannungsfeld v<strong>on</strong> zunehmender Individualisierung und fortschreitenderGlobalisierung. Ein funkti<strong>on</strong>ierendes Ethikmodell muß diesen neuen Bedingungen Rechnung tragen.Ansätze bieten in sehr ähnlicher Weise eine auf Aristoteles <str<strong>on</strong>g>zur</str<strong>on</strong>g>ückgreifende <str<strong>on</strong>g>Tugendethik</str<strong>on</strong>g> undkommunitaristische Moralentwürfe. Doch beide, Kommunitarismus und <str<strong>on</strong>g>Tugendethik</str<strong>on</strong>g>, widersetzen sichoftmals gerade der Universalisierung. Die Vermittlung v<strong>on</strong> Werten innerhalb einer überschaubarenGemeinschaft steht im Vordergrund. Unterschiede zu anderen ethischen Auffassungen in anderenGemeinschaften werden ohne weiteres akzeptiert. Können <str<strong>on</strong>g>Tugendethik</str<strong>on</strong>g> und Kommunitarismus somitwirklich eine tragfähige Basis für ein modernes Moralk<strong>on</strong>zept bieten? Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dieserzentralen Frage und prüft die Alltagstauglichkeit beider Ethikk<strong>on</strong>zepte anhand der in aktuellen Debattendiskutierten Phänomene, wie dem der moralischen Dilemmata. Es zeigt sich, daß die tugendethischkommunitaristischeDenkrichtung hier interessante und neue Impulse geben kann.“103 This collecti<strong>on</strong> provides readings from five classic thinkers with importantly distinct approaches to virtuetheory, al<strong>on</strong>g with five new essays from c<strong>on</strong>temporary thinkers that apply virtue theories to the resoluti<strong>on</strong> ofpractical moral problems. Jennifer Welchman’s Introducti<strong>on</strong> discusses the history of virtue theory. A shortintroducti<strong>on</strong> to each reading highlights the distinctive aspects of the view expressed. TABLE OFCONTENTS: Preface. Introducti<strong>on</strong>.
