This Element presents an interpretation and defence of Philippa Foot\'s ethical naturalism.
Foot\'s Metaethics thereby offers a compelling contemporary approach that preserves some of the best insights of the Aristotelian tradition in practical philosophy..
The thrust of the interpretation offered here is that Foot\'s Metaethics takes ethical judgment to be tied to our self-understanding as a sort of rational animal.
Moral virtues understood as perfections of human powers are central to Foot\'s account of ethical judgment.
This method shapes her approach to understanding goodness as well as the role that she attributes to human nature in ethical judgment.
It begins with the often neglected grammatical method that Foot derives from an interpretation of Ludwig Wittgenstein\'s later philosophy.
