To lead a good life, it provesuseful to watch those who have mastered the art of living. Theconviction that living is an art is at the heart of virtue ethics.Living a good life requires exercise, and is a question of acquiring avirtuous character rather than of complying with external ethical andlegal rules. This renaissance partly builds on Thomas Aquinas. He inturn recovered Aristotelian, Ciceronian and Augustinian thought onvirtue ethics. The interpretation and development of virtues and vicesform the core of his authorship, as the secunda pars of his SummaTheologiae readily displays. And yet, the most important virtues forhim are not the moral ones, such as Justice, Temperance, Prudence andFortitude, but those virtues that are both infused by and aimed at God:Faith, Hope and Love. These are virtues that the philosophers ofantiquity were not aware of. To account for them, Aquinas had to adaptthe classical understanding of virtues. For Aquinas, the moral virtuescome to full fruition only when they are embedded in a life before God,a life lived exercising the God given theological virtues.
