Virtue and character

A third way of reasoning, from Aristotle: ask not only "what should I do?" but "what kind of person should I be?". Character is the kind of person you are; good traits of character - honesty, courage, kindness - are virtues.

Depth 1 · Foundation

You can reason from character, name virtues, and say why a virtue is more than doing the right thing once.
