Abstract: In this talk, I will show that Cavendish's writings contain two conceptions of virtue. The first is broadly Aristotelian: Virtue consists in the perfection of a person's nature as a rational creature. The second is broadly Augustinian: Virtue consists in love of the good. After explaining how the two conceptions relate, I will reject Deborah Boyle's suggestion that Cavendish advances a third, broadly Hobbesian conception: Virtue consists in traits that have good consequences, specifically, for peace and social stability. Having done so, I will turn to and challenge another Hobbesian interpretation, due to David Cunning, according to which Cavendish's metaphysics leave no room for moral goodness independent of our attitudes or responses. The upshot of the paper is that Cavendish's conception of virtue is more ancient than modern.
