So there's consequentialism, which is most people, I think, in contemporary society adopt.

There's deontology, which is, as you rooted, rooted in some sort of, maybe there's some universal, this is good, this is bad.

Then there's virtue ethics, which basically, instead of saying, oh, the consequence, instead of saying, oh, this action is good because the consequence was good,

or this action is good because the action is inherently good or wrong because of some secular or non-secular set of rules, you're saying, hey, the actual thing that you need to measure and you need to think about is the moral character of the person doing the action.

And then if the moral character, if they possess these kind of cardinal virtues, things like temperance and justice and wisdom, for example,

then it so follows that the action they do would be virtuous, right?

So you try to cultivate the soul, basically, and then in cultivating the soul and cultivating virtue, it confers basically virtue in the action, right?

So basically the first two, in my view, in my view, deontology and consequentialism is very much about the action, right?

It's saying, hey, is this outcome good based off some

thing you're trying to maximize.

And then deontology, which is this concept of figuring out if the outcome is good or not, is this the right or wrong thing?

Then the concept of virtue ethics, which is instead of saying, you know, looking at the action, right?

Because ultimately human beings produce action.

Actions, you know, aren't just there.

Human beings produce action.

The quality of the action should be measured or it's deemed virtuous if the person can strive and embody virtue.

Okay.

And so personally, and I'm still, by the way, talking about natural virtue right now.

I'm not even talking about divine virtue.

I'm talking about in the intellectual plane, things that people can think about and reason or argue over, things of the mind, not things that go beyond the mind.
