- Summary:
- Author Raja Halwani discusses how virtue ethics illuminates the three central areas of our lives - care, love, and sex - which are often considered to be crucial to a well-lived life. Halwani concludes that virtue ethics allows for those sexual lifestyles that are deemed by traditional morality to be wrong - promiscuity, open relationships, and sex work - which boldly counters the conservative viewpoint of many virtue ethicists. This argument about the relationship between romantic love and virtue also examines the works of other philosophers.
