Abstract Liberty is a buffer that has the ability to mitigate power imbalances within a system of coercion and inequality‚ or more simply put tyranny.

Imagine that you are walking by a small pond‚ and you see a child drowning. You might think that it is common sense that you or any other spectator ought to save the child because it is your duty as a human. In Applying Virtue to Ethics‚ Julia Annas uses this notable philosophical example to illustrate her argument that contrary to our initial intuition‚ virtue ethics does not account for moral demands from duty or obligation.
