Aristotle and MacIntyre have focu sed on virtue ethics and the practical implication of virtue ethics for moral education . Virtue ethics has been a tendency to confuse the virtue approach to moral education with such quite different accounts as character education. So, in the interests of disclosing the distinctive features of the virtue approach, we need to be rather clearer about the philosophical claims of virtue ethics, and the virtue ethics approach to moral education. We might regard as a virtue approach to moral education only one which is based on virtue ethics(aretaic ethics), as opposed to Kantianism. But since the very of a virtue ethics is itself contested, we will now clarify what might be meant by an ethics of virtue and enlarge the concepts of virtue ethics and application of virtue ethics for moral education. Though A narrower definition of virtue ethics would exclude Kohlbergism(cognitive developmentalism) following Kantianism(duty ethics), we will inclu de partly definition of Kohlbergism.
