IS virtue an example of utilitarianism?
No. Utilitarianism is an idea supported by philosophers such as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, which says that an action is moral if it maximises utility (either if it makes more people happy than unhappy, or if it makes people happier). Therefore, some things that are seen as virtuous (such as telling the truth and being kind) might be seen as immoral by utilitarians. For example, a tradtional example used by people who do not agree with utilitarianism is where there is a group of people who want an innocent man to be killed (maybe they think he has done something wrong). Utilitarians would argue that the moral thing to do is to kill the man, because it will make the group happy. But the traditional idea of virtue would say that killing the man is wrong, and not a virtuous thing to do.
