  Amazon.ca: Books: From Morality to Virtue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Slote advocates a particular form of such ethics for its intuitive and structural advantages over Kantianism, utilitarianism, and common-sense morality, and he argues that the problems of other views can be avoided and a contemporary plausible version of virtue ethics achieved only by abandoning specifically moral concepts for general aretaic notions like admirability and virtue.
Slote criticizes Kantian and common-sense morality for internal incoherencies and for downgrading the moral individual and her well-being in some previously unnoticed ways.

 Michael Slote Departs for Miami   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Professor Michael Slote has been a powerful force in the Philosophy Department since he arrived in the mid-1980s.
Michael Slote arrived in College Park in December 1984, and by January 1985 he was Chair of the Department.
He recognizes that the department is in good hands for this continuing growth, with Professor Ray Martin serving as acting chair for this interim year before Professor Peter Carruthers took over as new Chair of the Department in the 2001-02 academic year.

 APA Newsletters 98:2 - Varieties of Ethical Theories
Slote claimed that Hutcheson produced a "hybrid" theory in that motives were assessed morally in themselves, but actions were assessed morally in terms of their consequences for overall human happiness.
Slote claimed that a moral ideal which is both personal and general in this way can be seen as growing out of the work of Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings on the ethic of care.
Because caring, on Slote’s view, is an inner motivational state, he concluded that it would seem clear that this version of the ethic of care is a form of sentimentalist virtue ethics; one that finds its roots in Hutcheson’s moral sentimentalism.

 HINDU VIRTUE ETHICS
Slote also critiques utilitarianism for its reductionism and, at least in its Singerian form, unreasonable moral demands such as a voluntary equalization of living standards.
This means that Slote’s project of founding the value of the virtues on their own grounds fails, because one cannot deny that the virtues were preferred, very early in human social development, primarily because of their good consequences.
Michael Spangle and Kent Menzel state that “spoken language transformed our species and was a major factor in forging the human world as we know it.” They also argue for the existence of an “acoustic trigger to conceptualization” that gestural language obviously lacks.

 Against Satisficing Consequentialism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Michael Slote famously suggested that consequentialists should make use of the notion of satisficing in order to bring consequentialism more in line with “common sense.”  Slote presented a number of examples designed to illustrate the permissibility of satisficing.
The sorts of examples Slote takes to provide support for satisficing consequentialism are examples in which someone fails to bring about a better outcome because they bring about an outcome that is “good enough.”  In order for these examples to be persuasive, it is essential that they involve omissions, or allowings.
SSSC is not what Slote had in mind by satisficing consequentialism.

 Alibris: Michael Slote
by Slote, Michael A. Morals from Motives develops a virtue ethics inspired more by Hume and Hutcheson's moral sentimentalism than by recently-influential Aristotelianism.
In a plain and direct fashion, Slote advocates a particular form of such ethics for its intuitive and structural advantages over Kantianism, utilitarianism, and common-sense morality.
Written in the form of a debate, this volume presents a clear survey and assessment of the main arguments, both for and against, of Kantian ethics, consequentialism, and virtue ethics.

 Virtue Epistemology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Virtue epistemology is a collection of recent approaches to epistemology that give epistemic or intellectual virtue concepts an important and fundamental role.
The advent of virtue epistemology was at least partly inspired by a fairly recent renewal of interest in virtue concepts among moral philosophers (see, e.g., Crisp and Slote 1997).
Noting this influence from ethics, Ernest Sosa introduced the notion of an intellectual virtue into contemporary epistemological discussion in a 1980 paper, "The Raft and the Pyramid." Sosa argued in this paper that an appeal to intellectual virtue could resolve the conflict between foundationalists and coherentists over the structure of epistemic justification.

 Abstract: Consequentialism, Demandingness and Moral Obligation
In response to the demandingness objection, Michael Slote proposes a position which he calls 'satisficing consequentialism', which identifies right action or permissible action as that which brings about good enough consequences.
In showing how Slote's account fails, I highlight the importance of taking account of the notions of effort, cost and sacrifice in considering whether we have met the demands of morality.
Given this importance, one might think it open to the consequentialist to work these notions directly in to an account of moral rightness and obligation, simply as a second set of relevant factors alongside consequences themselves.

In `Hypothetical Agent-Based Virtue Ethics', I examine how two contemporary moral theories inspired by or influenced by the writings of Francis Hutcheson, utilitarianism and Michael Slote's agent-based virtue ethics, treat the evaluation of motives and acts.
I call this approach hypothetical agent-based virtue ethics.
I argue that hypothetical agent-based virtue ethics has the strengths of utilitarianism and Slote's agent-based virtue ethics and avoids their weaknesses and is, therefore, worthy of consideration.
