What makes us capable today? Virtues
The word "virtue" has almost disappeared from our daily use, have you noticed? Or the semantic fields of this concept, when it is already used, are extremely blurred. Isn't it because the topic of virtues has lost its relevance in modern times?
The event ended

Justice. Stability. Caution. Moderation. These are the four virtues that Aeschylus emphasized, which Plato picked up, and which were "legitimized" for Christendom by Thomas Aquinas, who instead proposed his own triad of virtues later: faith, hope, and love. Traditionally, virtues are defined as the antinomies of the seven sins, so we are talking about the seven virtues: virtue, humility, moderation, patience, generosity, diligence, meekness.

 

Instead, in the Roman anthology, we have a more thorough list, on a par with the behavioral complex already. Discipline, dignity, perseverance, spiritual authority, perseverance, openness, diligence, thrift, generosity, courage, seriousness, piety, piety.

Virtues are usually recognized descriptively, in fact through lists and lists, and even more often  through the real actions of prominent and prominent people.

 

Positive moral traits, virtue, and the ethics of virtue are the most common definitions of "virtue." But the closest to defining virtue was not a modern dictionary, but Socrates (who, as we know, did not give answers to complex questions). Virtues are a way to establish the desired benefits in individual human life and in the functioning of communities.

 

Man's desire for effective happiness, this idea underlies most interpretations of virtues. And this idea is one of the painful zones of our current social life: the compulsion to happiness, to be happy in the ultimate order in the early twentieth century. launched many social and cultural practices.

 

Virtue today seems to be a question of how to reconcile the intentions of different people involved in the same case.
