Virtue Ethics and the Unity of the Virtues

Quick fact

Aristotle argued that the virtues are not innate; they are developed through practice, like learning a musical instrument. And he believed that you cannot have true virtue without practical wisdom, which ties all virtues together.

Why this is interesting

You may think of yourself as honest, but could you be truly honest if you weren't also kind? The ancient Greeks argued that virtues are not separate traits, but a unified whole.
