    Eudaimonia

    The highest good is flourishing: living and acting well over a whole life, not momentary pleasure.

  2. IDEA 2

    Virtue is a habit

    We become just by doing just acts and brave by doing brave acts. Character is built through practice.

  3. IDEA 3

    The golden mean

    Virtue lies between extremes: courage between cowardice and recklessness.
