Virtues are Entirely Instumental

    • New

    Through-out this forum there are number of ways in which virtue is listed, including "no absolute virtue" which I think can come across as unclear.

    I think a more clear way would be to say:

    Virtues are entirely instrumental and inseparable from the happy life.

    Also just a note for future "to-do" list...it looks like some re-organization of the ethics sub-forum is needed regarding the various virtues.:/ (And that also there is a section by Philodemus that is not under ethics but is under texts and persons).
