description To what extent does a conception of virtue, similar to moral virtue, play a role in aesthetics? I sketch a conception of moral virtue as an orientation towards moral value and moral reasons, a set of dispositions to respond through action and both cognitive and non-cognitive attitudes. I develop a parallel conception of aesthetic virtue, as an orientation towards aesthetic value and reasons.

I finish by discussing whether aesthetic virtue supports or conflicts with moral virtue.
