Question 64 — Of the Mean of Virtue

We must now consider the properties of virtues: and (1) the mean of virtue, (2) the connection between virtues, (3) equality of virtues, (4) the duration of virtues. Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether moral virtue observes the mean?

  • (2) Whether the mean of moral virtue is the real mean or the rational mean?
  • (3) Whether the intellectual virtues observe the mean?
  • (4) Whether the theological virtues do?
