Yesterday's virtue ethicists meet tomorrow's high tech
a critical response to Technology and the virtues by Shannon Vallor
Howard J. Curzer
pp. 283-292
Vallor lists and describes seven complex features of moral self-cultivation shared by Aristotelian, Confucian, and Buddhist traditions, a dozen virtues which technology renders particularly important, and seven threats to these virtues. Responding to one of Vallor's challenges, I offer eight ways in which these virtues must be transformed in light of our technology. Finally, I list four further challenges to virtue ethics posed by technology.
