Is the Moral Person a Good Person or Bad Person?
The author wanted to know how moral philosophy distinguished between acts and persons. He argues that costly signalling theory betrays human moral actions in a new light as reliable cues of personal moral traits. This may seem a peculiar idea to most moral philosophers who have traditionally focused on judging the morality of isolated acts, rather than the moral virtues of whole people. As act ethics been supplanted by virtue ethics, attention has returned to the moral person level of description - just the right level of description to consider in costly signalling models of moral evolution.
