Virtue

Is "virtue" an outdated concept? And why is there a bear in this classroom?!This week at the hotel bar, Rick, Devonya, and Leigh are digging deep into the idea of virtue. What does it mean to be virtuous? How do we cultivate virtues? Are they timeless ideals or shaped by culture and history? We talk about Aristotle, sure, but we’re also unpacking modern critiques of virtue and asking how power and privilege shape what counts as “virtuous” in the first place.In a world that seems more focused on personal success and convenience than moral character, is virtue still worth striving for—or do we need to rethink what it even means?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-166-virtue/-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!
