What are virtues?
Virtues are enduring character traits developed through practice, reflection and intentional action. A virtuous action is not merely correct behavior; it arises from a stable disposition grounded in sound judgment and motivation.
In the Aristotelian tradition, virtues are "excellences" that contribute to human flourishing, or eudaimonia.
Civic virtues are moral and intellectual habits that shape public engagement. They are cultivated through practice, reflection, dialogue and positive examples.
