Prudence, Fortitude, and Temperance

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course taught by a Dominican sister gives an overview of the cardinal virtues as presented in Thomas Aquinas's Summa, with a specific focus on the virtues of Prudence, Fortitude, and Temperance. These virtues are studied individually, in relation to each other, and practically in the Christian life. Pontifical Anglicum (RY): After an introductory overview of the historical foundations of the doctrine of the cardinal virtues, the virtues of prudence, fortitude, and temperance are studied: 1) individually; 2) in the context of their relationship with the other virtues; 3) in their practical relevance to Christian life. I apologize that the syllabus is in Italian, as the course is taught in Italian. I was under the impression that this would count for a theology II and an Italian credit.
