To discern what is the fairest way to interact with myself and with others. What actions benefit me and at the same time do not harm others. They are virtues of saneness and prudence.<\/p>\n<p><em>Second principle:<\/em> I put the result of my reasoning into practice in my everyday life. What reasoning has shown me to be more correct, beneficial, therefore just, I put into practice with valor. In any experience of interaction with self and others, I leave the old way and I behave with the new knowledge. These are virtues of valor and of \u201cpractice by habit.\u201d Thinking sculpts and expands the mind, daily action sculpts and &#8220;softens&#8221; the heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 How Excellence, Philosophy in children, philosophical teachings, art, &#8220;Greek Education&#8221; is a feasible and viable proposal for the edification and the education of every person and, in particular, of every child who is the hope for tomorrow.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69fc55eabf3a66765{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69fc55eabf3a66765{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69fc55eabf3a66765{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69fc55eabf3a66765{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"vc_row-69fc55eabf835\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid thegem-custom-69fc55eabf8261753\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 thegem-custom-69fc55eabfb80546\" ><div class=\"vc_column-inner thegem-custom-inner-69fc55eabfb82\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper thegem-custom-69fc55eabfb80546\">\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  thegem-vc-text thegem-custom-69fc55eabfe3e9460\"  >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>\u2013 How philosophical virtues concern all of us whose minds are constantly &#8220;chained&#8221;, our hearts are &#8220;tightened&#8221; and the speed with which the world is changing pushes us beyond our limits.
