- Virtue Ethics
- The Aristotelian tradition grounds virtue in human nature and eudaimonia (Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics foundational); the modern revival via Anscombe 1958 (rejecting rule-based modern moral philosophy), MacIntyre 1981 (after virtue: tradition-embedded practices), Foot 2001 (natural goodness grounded in human form of life), and Hursthouse 1999 (virtue ethics as normative theory) has re-centered character and practical wisdom as primary explanatory categories.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
