THE VIRTUES
INTRODUCTION:
It suggests that a virtue theory takes the virtues and vices of agents to be more fundamental than evaluations of acts or beliefs, and defines right acts or justified beliefs in terms of the virtues.
It argues that there are two important but different concepts of virtue: virtues are qualities that attain good ends, and virtues are qualities that involve good motives.Accordingly, vices are qualities that either fail to attain good ends or involve bad motives. Finally, the introduction summarizes the eleven essays in the collection, which are divided into four sections.
BODY:
in a Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do good The end of a virtuous life consists in becoming like God St. Gregory of Nyssa. There are human virtues and theological virtues. Human virtues are habitual and stable perfections of understanding and will, which regulate our actions, order our passions and guide our behavior in accordance with reason and faith. Acquired and strengthened through morally good and reiterated acts, they are purified and elevated by divine grace. The main human virtues are the so-called cardinals, which group all the others and constitute the bases of virtuous life. They are prudence, justice, strength and temperance.
where I live the virtues that arise in people are how one can believe since they are seen as they are and how they act towards other people as when they are cautious with some example in a situation that are discussing 2 people and the other person It happens is not aware of what happens because it is not fixed in them, also if a problem happens between neighbors is arranged because it is a neighborhood where several people live and respect those around them in their neighborhood, you can also see them people who have much faith more than all for their religion because all who live here are very religious Catholics and you see that they go to church a lot, but there are many elders.
CONCLUSION:
he conclusion is that there are many virtues that are divided into, prudence disposes the reason to discern, in each circumstance, our true good and to choose the appropriate means to realize it. It is the guide of the other virtues, indicating their rule and measure. Justice consists in the constant and firm will to give others what is due them. Justice for God is called the virtue of religion. Strength ensures firmness in difficulties and perseverance in the pursuit of good, even reaching the ability to accept the eventual sacrifice of one's life for a just cause. Temperance it moderates the attraction of the pleasures, it assures the dominion of the will over the instincts and seeks the balance in the use of the created goods.Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and in all that He has revealed to us, and that the Church proposes to us to believe, since God is the Truth itself. By faith, man freely abandons himself to God; therefore, the believer tries to know and do God's will, since "faith acts through charity and hope is the theological virtue for which we desire and expect from God eternal life as our happiness, trusting in the promises of Christ, and supporting us in the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit to deserve it and persevere until the end of our earthly life.
