Abstract: The Vocational Virtues Project seeks to understand and advance ethical culture in professional settings through the novel lens of vocational virtue theory. Professional ethics has most often been conceptualized within a deontological ethical framework that emphasizes rights, responsibilities, and rule-following. This is important but incomplete. Virtue theory, on the other hand, focuses on agents’ moral character, conceived as a settled set of dispositions that motivate and guide action, and the circumstances that contribute to its cultivation and expression. Having a good character makes it more likely that an agent will make good decisions and act accordingly. Character is developed by modeling and habituating appropriate dispositions—the virtues. This presentation will discuss the theoretical and evidential basis of this approach and describe how it can help improve responsible conduct training not only for the sciences but for other disciplined practices.
