總結:This essay critically examines Stanley Hauerwas’ ecclesial-based virtue ethics, arguing that his account of formation risks foreclosing differences that exist within Christian community. Placing Hauerwas’ virtue ethical framework in conversation with queer theoretical work on temporality, turning to Elizabeth Freeman’s notion of chrononormativity and José Esteban Munoz’s critique of straight time, and with Kathryn Tanner’s theological work on culture, this essay demonstrates how Hauerwas’ account narrowly assumes what community and character does and should look like, and in doing so relies upon and reproduces a logic that undermines and ultimately oppresses difference - through assimilation, normalization, and exclusion. This essay also explores constructive resources queer temporality might offer for a virtue ethical framework that avoids difference-foreclosing normalization. Placing Muñoz in conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this essay proposes an apophatic anti-telos that shifts focus from a prescriptive telos seeking success and stability to a horizon of eros and encounter.
