ABSTRACT
The second EVE concept was developed by Ronald Sandler (2007, Chapter 5), who owes a huge intellectual debt to contemporary virtue ethicists because he based his analysis on their considerations. Sandler’s approach is naturalistic in terms of recognizing how biological inclinations influence human beings and culture; it is teleological because it leads a moral agent to eudaimonia, and it is pluralistic because it is an approach that leads one to do good deeds that serve goals other than eudaimonia. Chapter 5 describes the ethical concepts of the aforementioned authors (Section 5.1) and the understanding of virtues found in Sandler’s EVE concept (Section 5.2).
