Description:
Many of us are familiar with Aristotle’s virtue ethics from our student years. We can call up moderation, the golden mean, even practical wisdom (phronesis) and friendship. Nevertheless, a quick tour of the Nicomachean Ethics, as well as an unjustifiably brief visit to Kant and the utilitarians, will prepare us to see what is old and what is new in the radical ethics of Emmanuel Levinas and Knud Ejler Løgstrup. The priority of the other, not only in time but in importance, places the concern with self and self-actualization far into the background. No longer must we concern ourselves, with Kierkegaard, with our own purity of heart. Holiness does not belong to me, but occurs in responsiveness to the other’s suffering.
Learning Objectives:
- Define virtue ethics
- Identify two examples of virtue ethics
- Explain the principal differences between virtue ethics and radical ethics
- Explain how interdisciplinary study changes the clinician
