Abstract

The keystone of the Virtue Ethics' revival lies in the rejection to the Rules of Ethics,and offers the latter a virtue theory's reduction in its evaluation system to actions by giving the latter action's assessment a pre-moral evaluation's basis.Some contemporary representatives of Virtue ethicists are right to repel,to varying degrees,the metaphysics naturalism in Aristotle's virtue theory.To set up a theory of Virtue Ethics based on a certain unification containing Humanity,Virtue,and Nature all three toward the same,as well as embodying the meaning of life and that of nature toward the same is likely to offer a profound enlightenment requirement,which originates from Aristotle's naturalistic virtue theory,to the resurgence of Virtue Ethics and likely to point a new negative direction in the Ethics research.Also the revival of virtue ethics offers a reflection opportunity to our moral education,as well as a real theoretical basis and the right direction.
