“…Character, Caricature, and Gossip A second recent move in virtue ethics has been to develop an updated account of virtues and vices based on recent work on traits in psychology (cf., Sabini and Silver 2005;Snow 2009;Russell 2009). In their recent books, Snow (2009) andRussell (2009) separately appeal to the cognitive-affective personality system (CAPS) developed by psychologists Mischel and Shoda (1995).…”

Gossip is rarely praised. There seems little virtuous that is about talking behind someone's back. Whether there is anything virtuous about gossip, however, depends on the kind of gossip. Some gossip is idle, but some evaluative gossip promulgates and enforces norms. When properly motivated, such gossip effects positive change in society and counts as gossiping well. The virtue of gossiping well even includes some kinds of false gossip, namely the sort that exaggerates a pre-existing trait, thereby creating a caricature of a person's character in order to establish a moral exemplar (or anti-exemplar).

“…I shall focus on the classical Aristotelian approach to the ethics of virtues that hinges, among other things, on the centrality of phronesis (Aristotelian practical wisdom) in the operation of the virtues, while setting aside full-blown EV approaches to legal theory such as Solum's proposal. (Solum 2003) Phronesis has attracted a large degree of theorising in ethical theory (Russel 2009) and some more specialised reflection in legal theory. (Michelon 2013) I believe such a thick concept can only be properly viewed through an analysis that explains legal reasoning also on the grounds of the qualities of the reasoner.…”

Ethics of virtues and the education of the reasonable judge

In contemporary society, as in classical Greece, we need citizens that deliberate well both for themselves and for society overall. Different competitors contend about the right principles in the theory of education. This paper holds that 'character education', descending from the ancient ethics of virtues, still represents the best option available for people who want to deliberate well for the common good. A special place in deliberation is taken by legal reasoning because the law is central in the distribution of goods in our society. Rather than focusing only on rules and principles I follow the EV approach and focus on the qualities of the good decision-maker, the reasonable judge. The intellectual virtues of phronesis and techné combine those personal and professional qualities that we want at work in any judge. But it is the exercise of the civic art of rhetoric that expresses at best the public dimension of the reasonable judge.
