Virtue (Aquinas 101)

“The soul is perfected by knowledge and virtue.” -St. Thomas Aquinas

It is one thing to know the right thing to do. It is another thing to do it and to do it well—this is where virtue comes in.

I love this series. My mind is raised higher. Praise God for blessing us with so many people who wish to lift our minds up towards the good, and by extension, towards God.

I've returned to this video many times. The section regarding St. Thomas not being a stoic and how the virtuous person feels more deeply was a revelation for me. Would love to see that particular topic expanded upon.

sixty years ago I was taught the a virtue is a habit for doing the good

I'm astonished by the quality of Aquinas 101's videos. The animations, the rhetoric, the teachings... No wonder they cost so much to make! I've always steemed Dominicans very high, but you're just breathtaking! Truly inspiring.

Thank you for responding to a previous comment on the question of is humility a virtue.
Right from the Summa .
I pushed a few buttons l read from this treasure.

Thank you for this. I am writing a synthesis paper on ethics and my mind got refreshed on what am I missing both on the paper and the life itself. I'm ashamed that I'm losing touch in what is ethics really is without understanding the fundamentals of moral virtues.

This was so useful! It was hard to understand when I read it in Philosophy class but this made it so understandable! Thank you.

Beautiful - thank you! I'm taking this as spiritual direction - working on it.

[mikeq]

Not religious, but I agree more than I thought I would with Aquinas' view of virtue.

Thank you for this video!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you!
