| | | Values or Viritue
Why is it that the ancients often spoke of "virtue" whereas recent thinkers speak of "values?" Is that clear enough?

| | | "Virtue" implies objective realities which are universally prized; "values" speak of individually determined and subjective goods which differ from person to person. It has been a LONG time since our society even pretended that virtue was worthy of something to be aspired to and maintained.

Besides, if you talk about virtue nowadays, people just snicker. It gets tiring and most people give up.
