just a “love of wisdom.” First, it involves other virtues besides wisdom. This is shown through Plato’s exploration of the virtue of piety in the Socratic dialogue Euthyphro, and during Socrates’ defense in Apology, in which Socrates displays multiple virtues including courage, resilience and honesty in the face of immense adversity and even death. Since Plato and Socrates are philosophers, and they found it worthwhile to address these other virtues, philosophy must be more than just a “love of…

between vice and virtue, first by mixing the order when discussing them, and next by instructing his prince that some virtues are in fact vices. He assures his prince, “if one considers everything well, one will find something appears to be virtue, which if pursued would be one’s ruin,”. This decimation of the distinction between virtues and vices destroys the foundations of Aristotle’s ethics and politics, which in turn destroys the pursuit of the good. Without clear and distinct virtues and…
