This chapter provides an account of Virtue Ethics, describing its origins in the philosophy of Aristotle, and tracing the contemporary revival of interest in this ethical theory, assessing both its strengths and weaknesses. The approach is then applied to end of life care, in terms of accounts of the virtuous practitioner, the virtuous patient, and virtue politics. Finally, it is briefly related to three key ethical issues: decisions to discontinue or withhold potentially life-prolonging treatment, the relief of pain and suffering, and the challenge of facing up to one’s own death.
