 This entry has briefly reviewed and critically evaluated four different approaches which draw on empirical psychology to aid us in thinking about issues of character. The amount of attention given here to each of them is in line with discussions in the philosophy literature. Philosophers in their writings have paid by far the most attention to situationism followed by the CAPS model, with the Big Five and the VIA classifications hardly getting mentioned at all. This is in direct contrast to the current landscape in psychology, especially personality psychology. Perhaps it is time for philosophers to shift their attention accordingly.
