Description
The cardinal virtues are four fundamental virtues of mind and character in both classical philosophy and Christian theology. They are:
Prudence: This virtue helps us discern right from wrong and make appropriate decisions. Prudence involves practical reasoning and consideration of potential consequences. Plato introduced this virtue, and Aristotle defined it as "right reason applied to practice." It is essential for making sound judgments.
Justice: This virtue is about giving each person their due and ensuring fairness. Justice involves recognizing and respecting the rights of others, and it ensures that everyone is treated equitably. It is not only a legal requirement but also an ethical one, promoting fairness and equal treatment.
Fortitude: This virtue provides the courage and resilience to face difficulties and challenges. Fortitude includes the ability to confront fear and uncertainty with bravery and perseverance. It empowers individuals to withstand adversity and remain steadfast.
Temperance: This virtue involves self-control and moderation. Temperance encourages avoiding excesses and maintaining balance, particularly in relation to desires and pleasures. It promotes a measured and controlled approach to life.
These virtues form the foundation of ethical and moral behavior in both individual and societal contexts. They were first discussed by Plato in his work *Republic* and were systematically elaborated by Aristotle in *Nicomachean Ethics*. In Christian tradition, these virtues are viewed as fundamental to natural morality and are considered alongside theological virtues, which are seen as divine gifts.
This beautifully crafted bowl features a hand-painted floral and bird motif on a soft blue porcelain base. Intricately detailed bronze-finish handles and an ornate pedestal base add a sense of timeless luxury. Ideal as a centerpiece for classic interiors or an elegant accent for consoles and tables.
Dimensions (H x W x D): approx. 24 x 42 x 32 cm (9.4" x 16.5" x 12.6")
Material: Porcelain body with antique-finish metal handles and stand

Four Cardinal Virtues (Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance)
It was beautifully made & enjoyed by the receiver.
by kmhege
Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

This is a gift for my wife who loves owls. This piece of Steampunk art takes the wise bird whom Athena in Greek mythology favours to an entirely new level. I love steampunk art and my wife is quite impressed with this figurine which is well made and quite unique.
