چکیده
Aristotle elaborated his theory of virtue in two texts, the Nicomachean and the Eudemian Ethics. Throughout the centuries, his theory of virtues has endured despite a number of attempts to eliminate it as a framework for how one should live and flourish.

The second focuses on his elaboration of the cardinal virtues and explores their application to modern psychopathology and intervention.
