What are some good books that present the argument between virtue ethics, and Utilitarian Ethics? I'm trying to decide on my personal moral position, and I've already rejected Virtue Ethics, (too uber-individualist, and relies largely on cultural norms), Egoism, (only useful to edgy teens, and psychopaths), and Religious Ethics, (atheist). So, I'd really like to see a good argument between these two points, laid out plainly.

virtue ethics is the only thing that makes sense. Aristotle had it down about 2500 years ago. Ethics is not something 'out there'. Cultural norms are something you just have to accept. But you can demand people are consistent. If you realise that most people are hypocrites it's a good theory.

I'm reading ethics right now and unironically modeling a moral code and my behavior on it.

What problems can I expect to run into?

>what problems can I expect to run into?
Nothing much, besides not even thinking of applying e.g. Kantian ethics in 99% of your everyday life, and in the remaining 1% - when you actually contemplate about which moral decision to take - the decisive thought will not be any maxim, but your own sensus communis, the notion of cultivated virtue which renders immediate decision making in the domain of moral possible with more certainty than any theoretical construction could possibly dream of.

also, I'm not the same anon as >>9435842

N. was all for questioning your educators but when everything you want to turn back to is degenerate nonsense at this point, don't.

So you mean the only kind of the ethics with any sort of structure and the only kind that doesn't fall apart after a few minutes of questioning?
