- As in the naturalistic fallacy
- Any prior moral laws
- What you do morally is based on way moral actions affect you
- Division between VE
- 1. Moral actions way to make you virtuous
- 2. Action no specific importance
- What counts: moral agent's nature - their virtuous state
- Rosalind Hursthouse - leading exponent
- Analogy: 1st group see fruit produced by the fig tree - way they can tell nature of tree
- 2nd group look at tree & say its healthy so its bound to produce good fruit
- Won't bother analysing the fruit - it's nature of the three counts
- 2nd group look at tree & say its healthy so its bound to produce good fruit
- VE reject the idea...
