“I suppose that one of the reasons we find it so hard to come to terms with the Holocaust is that pre-Nazi German society looks so like our own at the same period, and we are forced to the unpalatable conclusion that if it happened there because of lack of virtue in its members, we must have been similarly lacking and might have gone the same way.”
Rosalind Hursthouse, HURSTHOUSE:ON VIRTUE ETHICS PAPER

“[...] Aristotle introduces a distinction between the «continent» or «self-controlled» type of human being, (who has enkrateia) and the one who has full virtue (arete). Simply, the continent character ist the one who, typically, knowing what he should do, does it, contrary to her desires, and the fully virtuous character is the one who, typically, knowing what she should do, doest it, desiring to do so. Her desires are in complete harmony with reason. [...] the fully virtuous agent is morally superior to the merely self-controlled one.”
