Making Good 3: Virtues, laws and consequentialism

Series
Uehiro Lectures: Practical solutions for ethical challenges
Audio Embed
Third of three lectures by in the 2011 Annual Uehiro Lecture Series "Making Good: The Challenge of Robustly Demanding Values". Delivered by Philip Pettit, Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University.

Which side in the debate is going to be better able to accommodate the robust demands of virtue-based and law-based values?
