Virtue Ethics Class

29/03/2016 Tuesday

We went into two of Matt Fuller’s Ethics Classes.  The topic under consideration was “Virtue Ethics”. The class looked at Aristotle and was then asked to name some of their heroes and list the virtues that contributed to them being heroes. The class was then asked if they considered forgiveness a virtue.  This led to a discussion about the Enniskillen bombing and, in particular, Gordon Wilson’s response.  It was suggested that forgiveness is a journey and the process of forgiving does not necessarily require the word forgive to be said.
