 On Foot’s view, the goodness that is realized in possessing the virtues extends beyond moral goodness; for example, she argues that one may show courage in confronting something fearsome for the sake of one’s own life (1989 [MD 115]). The idea here, which she develops in her later work, is that one does not act well in neglecting one’s own interests, just as one who neglects the rights or well-being of others is defective. Human goodness encompasses more than moral goodness, and the virtues are connected with human goodness thus broadly understood.
