MORAL CHARACTER.
2. Virtue of intellect.
For example: wisdom, understanding and
intelligence.
Aristotle defines moral virtue as a disposition to behave in
the right manner and as a mean between extremes of
deficiency and excess, which are vices.
As Aristotle says, "for as it is not one swallow or one fine day that
makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a
man blessed and happy." (Nicomachean Ethics, 1098a18)
