| Summary: | In this paper I aim to show to what extent Schopenhauer can be regarded as a virtue theorist, and in this respect can contribute to contemporary discussions. Two broad outlines of examination will be explored here in relation to this: on the one hand, we will try to exhibit that Schopenhauer’s criticisms to Kantian Ethics, either to anticipate or motivate contemporary criticisms of the latter, helping to prompt the renewal of virtue ethics; on the other hand, we will try to show those aspects through which Schopenhauer’s ethical theory can be considered properly, in terms of a virtue ethics. Lastly, a powerful objection will be examined regarding the idea we intend to defend here, i.e., that of the affiliation between Schopenhauer and virtue ethics; to which we will try to offer a plausible solution. |
