Another thing that might be relevant… many virtue ethicists (notably Richard Volkman) will claim not to have a theory of right action at all. A mistaken view of virtue ethics (which I find myself uncarefully uttering sometimes) insists that “One should always act so as to cultivate virtue” or something like that. But any decent justification of virtue will be in consequentialist terms—a virtue is a trait of character that is good for the one who has it.
