No. She is an advocate of virtue ethics which is an ethical approach based a) on the pursuit of human flourishing; and b) the expression of that flourishing using the vocabulary of the virtues (enduring character traits such as wisdom, courage and moderation). Virtue ethics as a modern philosophical approach is derived from the approach of ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and can be contrasted with the approaches of deontology (doing one's duty (as in Kant's moral theory)) and utilitarianism (maximizing happiness and minimizing pain (as advocated (eg) by John Stuart Mill).
