Virtue Ethics and Professional Roles

Taking medical and legal practice as key examples, the authors develop a rigorous articulation and defence of virtue ethics, contrasting it with other types of character-based ethical theories and showing that it offers a promising new approach to the ethics of professional roles. They provide insights into the central notions of professional detachment, professional integrity, and moral character in professional life, and demonstrate how a virtue-based approach can help us better understand what ethical professional-client relationships would be like.

Justin Oakley

Dr Justin Oakley is a bioethicist and moral philosopher. He has been part of the revival of the ethical doctrine known as virtue ethics, an Aristotelian doctrine which has received renewed interest in the past few decades.

Oakley is particularly well-known for his work on professional ethics and also the so-called "problem" of friendship. The problem of friendship looks at how a strict application of impartialist ethical doctrines, such as utilitarianism and Kantianism, conflicts with our notions of friendship. In 1995, he published, with Dean Cocking, the now widely-cited article "Indirect Consequentialism, Friendship, and the Problem of Alienation" in the journal "Ethics".

Currently, Oakley is Director of the Centre for Human Bioethics at Monash University and Deputy Head of its School of Philosophy and Bioethics. [cite web |title= Assoc.

In 2004, he was awarded the Eureka Prize for Research in Ethics.cite web|last = | first= |authorlink= |coauthors= | title = Eureka Prizes - 2004 Research Ethics | work = | publisher = Australia Museum | date = 2004 | url = http://www.amonline.net.au/eureka/index.cfm?objectid=763A7781-E8A4-B1BA-DC2224EF17E505F9 | format = | doi = | accessdate = 2008-01-27]
