| Zusammenfassung: | Theological ethicists rarely allow the virtues to perform the heavyweight work of guiding action. This article contests this tradition and argues that, and demonstrates how, virtue ethics provides a practicable method of normative action guidance.

The interrogative and discovery modes direct agents to morally deliberate using thick accounts of the virtues. |
