👉 Virtue math, also known as virtue arithmetic, is a philosophical approach that applies mathematical principles to the cultivation and assessment of virtues. It views virtues as quantifiable traits, where the development and balance of these virtues can be seen as a process of optimization. Just as in mathematics, where numbers and operations are used to solve problems, virtue math suggests that virtues can be measured, understood in their relationships, and improved through practice and reflection. For example, the balance between courage and prudence can be seen as a ratio or proportion that, when well-maintained, leads to effective decision-making. This method encourages individuals to systematically develop and harmonize their virtues to achieve a more virtuous life.
