In the description of classical ethics there are, among others, the definition of virtue and the classification of virtues. Ethics is presented in the context of philosophical anthropology. The author refers to the concept of paradigms in Alasdair MacIntyre’s research about morality and compares modern virtue ethics to the most popular trends in moral research.
