Virtues and Vices – Session I: The Pillars of Western Virtues and Vices

Описание к видео Virtues and Vices – Session I: The Pillars of Western Virtues and Vices

What is virtuous and what is a vice? Can objectively good and evil decisions exist when we do not know the long-term consequences of our actions? What, in that case, constitutes a good or evil person? What is the origin of morality? Every era and culture have had their respective answers to these eternal questions. In our own Protestant tradition, the human body and its desires have been considered inherently bad. Why is pride the worst of all sins according to Christian ethics? During this seminar, we explore how conceptions of virtues and vices have changed throughout history and across cultures, from ancient times to today.
