ABSTRACT
This chapter examines four moral theories in turn: virtue ethics, utilitarianism, Kantianism and contractarianism. The real content of the concept of virtuous deliberation rapidly appears when we start to put the adjectives corresponding to particular virtues into the place held by the adjective virtuous. Virtue ethics modular account of deliberation shows us why we should sometimes prize spontaneous and unthinking action and, in many cases, should actually prefer it to carefully calculated and rationalized action. Foots meta-ethics is one clear example of this biological naturalism. The author explains about the modularity of practical deliberation in virtue ethics. If this is so, then the summary of virtue ethics that author have provided does not just fail to help an agent to deliberate well; it actively prevents him from deliberating well. It is my problem about knowing what is right! Fortunately for virtue ethics, there is an obvious way to deal with this problem.
