To finish this review of a google search on “six virtues,” I describe other six-virtue schemes. The criteria are always the same. Are any of them as conceptually consistent, fundamental, comprehensive, and useful as the six virtues of the educated person? There is a reason why they are not.
Whereas the Buddhist transcendent virtues claim to be a universal guide to leading a good life, and Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman (2004) claim the six broad virtue categories are universal descriptions of what makes us good, the following lists do not make such lofty claims. Instead, each describes six virtues that are a guide to goodness in a particular area of life. The following lists illustrate these more modest claims. They are also examples of virtue lists that do not meet the four criteria.
