Perhaps the article can be clarified to refelct this.  +sj + 23:38, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I respectfully disagree with the previous statement: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, which was very influential when Aristotle was reintroduced to Western philosophy, leans heavily on these virtues. It is not, however, a simple matter of x influences y. Thomas had many sources, which also included Cicero's De officiis. A structured approach is necessary to explain, in a clear manner, the historical development of these virtues. Caedus (talk) 00:08, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Intro Section 

message: These ideas are important enough to the entire western tradition that they shouldn't be left in the hands of people who either don't understand or are unwilling to discuss their full place in that tradition (ie. contemporary Christians).
To start with this entire art, icle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato%27s_four_cardinal_virtues should be included in and lead off this article.  If one then wanted to go further one could say a few words about the role of these concepts and of virtue in general in later greco-roman thought, could mention the notion that these four were thought of as interdendent qualities, etc..  I won't bother to do this myself but someone who knows more about editing should definitely at least merge the two pages.  I wholeheartedly agree with both the quality and importance scale ratings of this article for philosophy (start & high).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.147.152 (talk) 07:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

message: In Dante's PARADISO, four of the heavenly bodies are associated with the four cardinal Virtues, and Dante sees the souls assigned to them according to which virtue they practiced the most.    Wisdom was associated with the sun (sun = light = knowledge), Courage with Mars because of its warlike associations, Justice with Jupiter because it was named for the king of the gods, and Temperance (which Dante identified with ascetism and monasticism) with Saturn, the most remote planet known to Dante.

message: Isn't the meaning of 'forbearance' closer to 'temperance' than it is to 'courage'? To forbear is to temper your (just) anger.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Murray (talk • contribs) 23:51, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
