 Some philosophers aim to provide what is needed by looking to psychological studies of enjoyment. They propose that virtues are analogous to (some) skills, in that the kind of habituation involved in developing and acting from virtuous character is like the sort of intelligent habituation typical of the development and exercise of (some) complex skills. The empirical studies of enjoyment show that, other things being equal, we enjoy the exercise of developed abilities, and the more complex the ability, the more we enjoy its exercise. If the acquisition and exercise of virtue is analogous to the development and exercise of complex ability, we can, this approach suggests, explain a variety of central points about virtuous activity – for example, that, like (some) skills, virtuous activity is experienced as being its own end, as being enjoyable in itself, and thus as valued for its own sake. For discussion of virtue as similar to complex skill, see Annas (2011), Bloomfield (2014), Stichter (2007, 2011), and cf. Sherman (1989).
