  • Doris argues that situationist research empirically supports the existence of local traits of character in most of the population.

    “Second, Doris argues that situationist research empirically supports the existence, in most of the population, of local traits of character.”

    From Virtue Ethics and Moral Psychology: The Situationism Debate (2009) · cites this paper as Doris 1998

  • Doris concludes that traditional virtue ethics should be abandoned or at least conceptually supplemented with a system of empirically adequate local traits of character.

    “Doris's bottom line is that traditional virtue ethics, since it endorses empirically inadequate global traits of character, should be, if not abandoned altogether, at least conceptually supplemented with a system of empirically adequate local traits of character.”

    From Virtue Ethics and Moral Psychology: The Situationism Debate (2009) · cites this paper as Doris 1998

    “Third, Doris argues that empirically adequate traits of character are necessary for moral agents appropriately to guide their moral reasoning, choices, and behavior.”

    From Virtue Ethics and Moral Psychology: The Situationism Debate (2009) · cites this paper as Doris 1998

  • Harman and Doris launch the second phase of the situationism debate, arguing that situationist findings vitiate traditional virtue ethics and suggest strategies for moral and social improvement.

    “Both Harman and Doris argue that, properly applied, situationist findings vitiate traditional virtue ethics and also suggest a range of illuminating strategies for moral and social improvement.”

    From Virtue Ethics and Moral Psychology: The Situationism Debate (2009) · cites this paper as Doris 1998

  • Doris argues that traditional virtue ethics is empirically inadequate because its virtue attributions do not accurately describe most people across situations.

    “Doris begins by arguing that traditionally-conceived virtue ethics is empirically inadequate.If virtue ethics were empirically adequate, its virtue attributions, such as courageous, just, honest, and compassionate, would accurately describe most of the population.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
