Developmental Virtue Ethics
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Post-Kohlbergian developmental psychology has recognized the philosophical contribution of virtue ethics to the reclamation of character as an object of study in developmental psychology. In recent times there has been a realization that there has to be a corresponding development in virtue ethics. Developmental Virtue Ethics recognizes the continuous development of humans throughout their various stages of maturation and decline and conceptions of virtue are informed by such features in a thoroughly interdisciplinary way. Virtue is differentiated according to stage of life. Since development is continuous, Developmental Virtue Ethics applies to development towards maturity as much as to maturity itself. In this chapter I consider the roots of virtue in babies, prosocial behaviour and its relation to virtue, virtue in children, virtue in the mature but improving agent, and virtue in the aged.

Abstract
Post-Kohlbergian developmental psychology has recognized the philosophical contribution of virtue ethics to the reclamation of character as an object of study in developmental psychology.
In recent times there has been a realization that there has to be a corresponding development in virtue ethics.
Developmental Virtue Ethics recognizes the continuous development of humans throughout their various stages of maturation and decline and conceptions of virtue are informed by such features in a thoroughly interdisciplinary way.
Virtue is differentiated according to stage of life.
Since development is continuous, Developmental Virtue Ethics applies to development towards maturity as much as to maturity itself.
In this chapter I consider the roots of virtue in babies, prosocial behaviour and its relation to virtue, virtue in children, virtue in the mature but improving agent, and virtue in the aged.
