The cardinal virtues—Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Courage—have shaped the moral and ethical frameworks of Western philosophy for centuries. Originating in ancient Greece, these virtues became central not only in philosophical discourse but also in religious and political thought throughout the ages. They are often referred to as the "four pillars" of virtuous living, providing a comprehensive ethical system that addresses human behavior, decision-making, and the cultivation of a just society. Their enduring relevance across millennia is testament to their depth and universal appeal in guiding human conduct toward moral excellence.
