Summary

My goal today is to challenge you to rethink what you know about Virtue. If you grew up in the last 50 years, you probably werenâ€™t taught much. Itâ€™s not your fault. Today weâ€™re going to explain what a virtue is and why "virtue ethics" are the only way to go.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show, episode 11. Today we ask the question, why did they stop teaching us virtue? The And the Howdy and thank you for tuning in to the Taylor Marshall Show. This is the
0:45.3	podcast for everyone who wants to take their faith to the next level. My goal
0:51.1	today is to challenge you to rethink the topic of virtue. If you grew up in the last 50 years or so, you probably weren't taught much explicitly about virtue and that's not your
1:06.3	fault. Today we're going to explain what a virtue is traditionally defined.
1:11.8	We're going to go back to Augustine and Thomas Aquinas and
1:15.2	scripture. And then I'll explain why virtue ethics, it's an ethical system based on virtues.
1:21.5	It's a philosophical school. Virtue ethics is the way to go.
1:26.4	But first I want to say something about the new St Thomas Institute. This

2:04.8	For example, last week we looked at how Thomas Aquinas understands the seven deadly
2:10.0	sins and then this week we just uploaded a course this morning on how Thomas
2:15.3	Aquinas understands the seven virtues, the four cardinal virtues and the
2:20.8	three theological virtues.
2:22.7	So if you're interested in becoming a member,
2:25.1	we are going to be raising the tuition,
2:26.5	but my wife Joy keeps telling me to keep it low
2:28.7	for at least another couple of months.
2:31.1	We'll see what we can do, but right now now if you want to join it the tuition is
