Modern Virtue Ethics: Can Aristotle’s Ethical Theory be Applied in the 21st Century?

I will conclude that, because virtue-ethicists are in fact able to utilise Aristotle’s core moral framework and adapt it to the society in which they wish to implement it, Aristotle does indeed provide an adequate basis for contemporary virtue ethics. While many aspects of Aristotle’s theory are rejected and adapted, the main foundation of modern virtue ethics can be Aristotelian.
