The practice of Virtues with Steve McIntosh

In this conversation with author and Integral philosopher Steve McIntosh we explore the practice and cultivation of the 7 classic virtues (justice, prudence, temperance, courage, love, hope and faith) that have been central to Western culture for the last 1000 years, and prior to that in simplified form dating back to ancient Greece. These virtues are the tools for harnessing the value energy of 'The Good' (as in the Good, the True and the Beautiful as described by Plato) this leads to the creation of a robust Soul and character that enables us to navigate the tempestuous seas of life and death. The virtues have mainly been associated with the moral instruction and obligations of traditional Christianity and we argue that they are just as important in a modern and postmodern / progressive context and are the antidote to the nihilism which is afflicting much of contemporary culture (currently more people commit suicide than die in wars and natural disasters combined!)
