By making moral agency dependent on habituation and the imitation of exemplars, this view is open to a major objection: namely, that there seem to be no protections against bad exemplars who model the wrong kinds of life and thereby pervert one’s moral agency. This chapter addresses this worry by demonstrating the role that the third-person perspective plays in introducing critical distance between the agent and her exemplars. It also considers the role that critical comparison, deliberation, and moral perception play in the virtuous agent’s life.
