What is Virtue Ethics?

Tonight we discuss virtue ethics, covering topics like:

  • What is a virtue?
  • Which virtue is the most important?
  • How do we apply virtues?
  • If you apply one virtue too much, e.g. bravery, are you still brave, or do you become stupid?

And of course we segue into a number of topics inclusive of:

  • Drugs
  • Porn
  • Cosplay
  • Power
