Understanding Virtue through Relational Presence
The discussion emphasizes the notion of virtue as something that is experienced relationally rather than merely explained. It proposes that entering into the experience of virtue is akin to entering a home where the essence or 'virtue' has been inherently present, gradually becoming aware of it. Just as one becomes accustomed to the atmosphere of a space, participants are seen to already be engaging with virtues without necessarily naming or defining them. This establishes the idea that we are in ongoing relationships with virtues that shape our identities and moral understanding from the outset.
