What Is the Point of Virtue Ethics?

acc-centered views of morality see the point of morality as directing what we do. The rules or principles can be known and applied by someone who has no desire or concern for acting on them. We may educate children into virtue by teaching them some simple rules, but mature moral agents do not need them. There is thus no counterpart in acc-centered theory for the epistemological privilege of the virtuous agent in a virtue-centered view.
