	Philosphical Diatribes Vol.47: The Naturalism of Hursthouse’s Virtue Theory: A Nietzschean Challenge
		Hursthouse’s ethical outlook may be informed by exploring what “strong virtues” are and how the strong may actually appropriate the “weak virtues” of pity, compassion, and charity.
		As Hursthouse acknowledges, this opens up the threat of conflict between the individual ends (1 and 3) and the social ends (2 and 4) with regard to human beings (since we have rationality and act on reasons and are thus different than other animals).
		Hursthouse makes short order of this objection by reducing it to absurdity---it is a wildly antisocial account of human nature that seems to deny the possibility of having children and fails to recognize how much social-co-operation is present for civilization to exist at all.

	Encounter - 15 October 2006 - The Ethics of Virtue
		University of Auckland philosopher Rosalind Hursthouse is one of its foremost exponents.
		Rosalind Hursthouse: Virtue ethics is a particular approach to the kinds of questions with which moral philosophy is concerned let us say, which is a broad brief that takes virtue as its central concept.
		Rosalind Hursthouse: If the members of your family are divided for instance, about whether you should go ahead or not, then that ought to be something you take seriously.

		It is one of the most original achievements of the book that Hursthouse not only faces this point, but takes it up into her theory.
		Reflecting about her position has pushed me to think further about the kind of naturalism that we are concerned with, for I think that we face an alternative here about the kind of naturalism required by a virtue ethics theory.
		For example, Hursthouse is rightly insistent that the way that reproduction weighs more heavily on women than on men gives us no reason to think that because of this the good life for women should be narrowed and constrained in advance, compared to the options for men.

	Amazon.ca: Beginning Lives: Books: Rosalind Hursthouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In this book, Hursthouse focusses on issues surrounding human interactions where care-giving is either essential, or a perceived responsibility, and uses a selection of such cases as a means of introducing and illustrating the practical application of virtue theory.
		Her examples are biased towards interactions of individuals rather than the duty of society towards those requiring care, as one would expect of a text that centers on pregnancy and abortion - involving as it does a relationship as intimate and as essential as two individuals could ever be.
		In addition to providing a practical exploration of virtue ethics, Hursthouse also uses the case studies as a means of illustrating the viewpoints of opposing ethics systems.

		With Hursthouse, I regard feminism, for instance, as having done an excellent job of challenging factual views about men's and women's actual capacities, thus giving rise to completely different conclusions as to what is a "natural" distribution of societal roles.
		As Hursthouse admits in the last, poignant 7 pages of her book, this is a conjecture that at least some of the findings of evolutionary psychology may throw into some doubt, particularly from the standpoint of selfish gene (or genome) theory.
		(Hursthouse herself endorses vegetarianism without contending that we can come up with a good moral argument for it.) So that's why, well worth considering though it be, I don't think a neo-Aristotelian approach puts the lie to my contention that the naturalistic fallacy is a naturalistic fact.

	Dissoi Blogoi: Two Doctrines of the Mean
		Rosalind Hursthouse, in her contribution to the recent Blackwell anthology on NE, dismisses the Doctrine of the Mean on the grounds that it is a 'whacky' bit of pseudoscience, that has 'no truth in it whatsoever'.
		Hursthouse is very enthusiastic about these other ideas: the first, she says, is 'a great insight into what is required for acting (and feeling)', and the second is 'a wonderful way to think about virtue'.
		Hursthouse (as I noted in an earlier post) thinks that hylomorphism is great but that the doctrine of the mean is whacky pseudoscience.

	Objections to Davidson’s early causal theory
		Hursthouse claims that in cases like these, we can always ascribe some desire which explains the action - e.g., my kicking the refrigerator is explained by my desire that the refrigerator work properly.
		Hursthouse considers a number of possible replies to these examples on the part of the proponent of Davidson’s theory (what she calls ‘the standard account’):
		Hursthouse’s point (64) that her examples intuitively seem quite similar to many cases (e.g., fleeing from danger) for which many have thought that the belief/desire theory is correct.

	Desert Landscapes » Moral Development as Acquired Perceptual Capacity? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If Hursthouse (who is attempting to channel Aristotle here) really wants to hold on to (c), I think she might do better to choose a different analogy — that moral development is like the acquisition of practical skills.
		If this is the route Hursthouse ends up wanting to take, then it seems that she must drop (b).
		Hursthouse could still hold on to (c) and say that, even if we could develop a detailed codification of morality, still the best way to train people to be moral agents would be to give them some appropriate initial pointers and then have them engage in moral practice.

		So it's not clear how the Formula of Humanity can show that utilitarians are wrong to deny deontology.
		Rosalind Hursthouse's Aristotelianism appeals to considerations of individual, species, and/or group well-being.
		But it isn't clear that the disposition to kill one to save five lives isn't consonant with these forms of well-being, and neo-Aristotelians need to do more if they want to justify deontology.

	Gus Van Horn: Sneak Preview of The Virtuous Egoist
		Although the ancient Greek conception of ethics that is currently enjoying a revival does not fit stereotypes of egoism, it certainly does not advocate altruism.
		As Rosalind Hursthouse acknowledges, much virtue ethics portrays morality as a form of enlightened self-interest.
		In the past few years, Philippa Foot, Rosalind Hursthouse, and Berys Gaut have all defended the idea that the bedrock source of proper moral norms rests in needs dictated by human nature.
