Αρετή (Virtue) refers to moral excellence and the quality of being morally good. It is often associated with traits such as honesty, courage, compassion, and integrity. In various philosophical traditions, especially in Aristotelian ethics, virtue is seen as a key component of a good life, guiding individuals toward ethical behavior and decision-making. In ancient Greek philosophy, virtues were categorized into different types, including intellectual virtues, which pertain to the mind, and moral virtues, which relate to character and behavior. The pursuit of virtue is considered essential for achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, emphasizing the importance of developing good character traits for personal and societal well-being.
