  • Modern Approach - Elizabeth Anscombe Part 2
    • She created two analogies to explain she Virtue Ethics
    • Shopping list
      • Essentially a man went to a supermarket and ignored his shopping list
        • The man could not blame the list regardless of who wrote the list
          • As it was his fault for ignoring the list
      • The shopping list = a list of virtues
      • What is important is the intentions of the person with the list
        • Ultimately this leads to God being the most important intention.
      • She knows that virtues are required for a ethical life
        • By buying the right goods will develop the natural goodness of humans
          • This is achieved by using Phronesis Practical Wisdom
    • House plant
      • A house plant is and has been dying
        • a person gives the house plant water in attempt to revive the house plant
          • Within this is the hope that the house plant will become healthy again
            • But just because in the common sense of the house plant ought to be fed regularly and ought to be revived once fed again
              • Doesn't mean that it is
                • What the plant is, is limp and the hope that it ought to recover
                  • in the sense of virtues is that unless you place them into practice then what ought to be may eventually be accomplished
