Question

kevin reads for 30 minutes every afternoon to improve his intellect. how might a virtue - based ethicist classify this action? a.) supererogatory b.) neutral c.) obligatory d.) impermissible

Explanation:

Virtue ethics focuses on developing good character traits (virtues). Cultivating intellect is a virtuous act, but it is not morally required (obligatory) nor is it morally wrong (impermissible). It is also not neutral, as it actively builds a positive virtue. Supererogatory acts are those that go beyond basic moral duties to cultivate excellence, which aligns with Kevin's intentional practice of improving his intellect.

Answer:

a.) Supererogatory
