Abstract

In Situational Traits of Character, Candace L. Upton rejects the traditional philosophical view that character traits are global and argues that the contents of our characters are situational. This situational nature is supported by both normative considerations and metaphysics of dispositions. Upton concludes by demonstrating that the relevant and fruitful application of situational traits to debates concerning friendship and consequentialism yields important moral results.

Abstract

"Human existence is structured as an interruption that is forever calling us into question (interrupting our everyday routinized ways of being) and confronting us with the related challenges of having a conscience, being open to and acknowledging others, striving to better ourselves when improvement is necessary for maintaining our well-being, and enacting our rhetorical competence to disclose the truth of the matters at hand" --
