Abstract

The current essay, belonging to the field of Normative Ethics, aims to offer a selection of relevant objections to Utilitarianism. The mentioned selection is presented by a series of authors related to the heterogeneous Virtue Ethics. Firstly, we will succinctly deal with Utilitarianism, taking into account what it consists of in its more general sense just to move on, secondly, to pay attention to certain criticism coming from Rachels, MacIntyre, Foot and, specially, Williams, where the problem of integrity will be considered as the nucleus of the current presentation. Through such criticism we will be able to see how an alternative position to Utilitarianism, given by Virtue Ethics, starts to be drafted
