Abstract: In the second half of the 20th century, an intellectual movement of virtue ethics rose in Anglo-American ethics. Virtue ethicists mainly criticized rule ethics such as Kantianism and Utilitarianism and boosted the renewal of ancient virtue ethics, especially Aristotelian ethics. Their focus turns from behavior rules to how to achieve good life in the community. At the same time, German philosophers such as Gadamer and Arendt enlightened by Heidegger also made great efforts to revive Aristotelian practical philosophy. They understand practices from the aspect of social interaction and emphasize that the practical rationality is different from technical rationality. Although these Neo-Aristotelians have different thoughts,they shared the same tendency, that is, to criticize the modern scientism, the overflow of instrumental rationality, and many defects caused by expansion of modern individualism. They strive to draw support from classical sources to reexamine contemporary society and call for practice wisdom to guide people to pursue perfection and happiness in communal ethical life.
