Reflecting on Symposium

During our symposium we started out by discussing the meaning of virtue. In Greek and Latin virtue meant "Moral Excellence". For the most part I agreed with this meaning of virtue, goodness and righteousness. From there we learned what the Four Cardinals of Virtues were which Socrates and Plato came up with. The first one being Prudence (Knowledge), the second being Fortitude (Bravery and Courage), the third one was Temperance (Moderation), and fourth being Justice (Fairness). The two statements we built off on were "Wrongful doing is a consequence of ignorance" and "The best way to live is to focus on self-development rather than material wealth"
This was the first time our class had done a symposium and I thought it was very interesting but confusing at the same time. There was a lot of things I wanted to add to this discussion but I couldn't put a lot of my thoughts into words that everyone would understand. I knew what I wanted to say but it was a lot of scattered thoughts. I thought it was really interesting to hear my classmates thoughts on the subjects that were brought up. Although sometimes it would turn into more of a debate than a discussion.
Overall I enjoyed hearing every ones thoughts and opinions next time I will try and get all of my thoughts together so i can get into the discussion more.
