Virtue Theory, Relativism and Survival

Joseph Grcic

Abstract—Virtue theory claims that moral virtues define the moral person. Moral relativism claims there are no necessary universal moral values-this theory is not rationally sustainable as a theory of ethics. The necessary functions of social order and existence require certain moral virtues. There are six main universal moral virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, humanity, temperance, and transcendence. Societies cannot function efficiently without these core virtues.

Index Terms—Moral relativism, social structure, virtue theory.
