Abstract

Despite revival, virtue ethics is subject to criticisms, most notably from situationism. Based on empirical findings, the situationists argue that only very few people possess virtues. Hence, virtue ethics that tells us to cultivate virtues is impractical. By referring to Zhu Xi, this chapter argues that although only few of us have robust virtues at the moment, virtue cultivation is still possible, practical, and necessary as we have a good human nature and numerous ways for cultivation.
