Practical Virtue Ethics

Stoicism and other virtue ethics philosophy say that to be a good person we need to exercise the virtues.

As the Stoic philosopher Epictetus said "On every occasion when something happens to you, remember to turn to yourself to see what capacity you have for dealing with it". This quiz could be part of your daily morning routine to help you prepare for the day.
