Unlock the secrets of timeless wisdom as we explore how the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—can transform your moral character and your life. These ancient concepts, deeply rooted in Greek philosophy and later embraced by Christian ethics, hold the key to ethical living and personal growth.

With insights inspired by Peter Kreeft's "Back to Virtue," we'll break down each virtue's historical context and significance, illuminating their practical role in shaping a flourishing life.


Key Points from the Episode:

  • Discover why these virtues are called "cardinal," derived from the Latin for "hinge," and how they form the foundation of virtue ethics from Plato and Aristotle to modern interpretations.

  • Whether you're a new listener or a seasoned follower, you're promised an enriching experience that will elevate your understanding of virtues and their lasting impact on human nature. 
  • Most importantly, we discuss the why behind having these virtues in the first place!
