摘要：TWO approaches to moral philosophy could hardly be more different than ancient virtue ethics and contemporary contractarianism. The former is abundant in its assumptions about human nature; it emphasizes historical continuities, particularized contexts, and "ortlinary language;" it embraces a highly intuitive mode of drawing conclusions. The latter, by contrast, is austere in its assumptions about human nature; it is alemporal, non-conlextual, and utilizes a specialized, "high-tech" vocabulary; it purports to be mathematically rigorous. As a (modern) paradigm of the lormer, consider Alasdair MacInryre's A.i'fe.r Wfue.1 And as a paradigm of the latter, consider David Gauthier's h'ora~sB y Agreement (henceforth MBA).2 Yet, in spite of the radical differences between these two types of moral theorizing, I believe that each could benefit by accommodating the strengths of the other.
