PHI 105: Introduction to Ethics Learning Unit 9: Lecture Page 1 of 2 Virtue Ethics Speaker: David Massey Action-based ethical theories, like utilitarianism and Kantianism, focus on what we should do and how to determine the morally right action in specific circumstances.

In contrast, Virtue Ethics focuses on being rather than just doing.
