Virtue theory asks not just how to do good, but how to be good. This course explores timeless questions of character through the lens of thinkers like Aristotle, Jesus, the Buddha, and Confucius. The class reflects on key virtues— such as honesty, courage, compassion, and respect—and considers practical ways to cultivate them in daily life. The full series may be taught as two separate courses.
