Question 3

What are the four cardinal vitrues?

Answer 3

*Prudence (φρόνησις, phrónēsis; Latin: prudentia; also Wisdom, sophia, sapientia), the ability to discern the appropriate course of action to be taken in a given situation at the appropriate time, with consideration of potential consequences.
*Justice (δικαιοσύνη, dikaiosýnē; Latin: iustitia): also considered as fairness;[4] the Greek word also having the meaning righteousness
*Fortitude (ἀνδρεία, andreía; Latin: fortitudo): also termed courage: forbearance, strength, endurance, and the ability to confront fear, uncertainty, and intimidation. Notably, ἀνδρεία, being closely related to ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός, could also be translated “manliness”.
*Temperance (σωφροσύνη, sōphrosýnē; Latin: temperantia): also known as restraint, the practice of self-control, abstention, discretion, and moderation tempering the appetition. Plato considered sōphrosynē, which may also be translated as sound-mindedness, to be the most important virtue. σωφροσύνη was often used in reference to drinking and “knowing the right amount” to avoid belligerence.
