Virtue theory is an ethical approach that emphasizes character over action, focusing not just on doing good, but on being good. What are the qualities of a virtuous person? This question has deep roots across cultures, explored by thinkers such as Aristotle, Jesus, the Buddha, and Confucius, as well as by modern scholars. We will examine core virtues such as sincerity, honesty, courage, compassion, respect, and love. We will explore how these qualities have been understood across traditions and identify ways to nurture them in daily life. The full series may be taught as two separate courses.
