Abstract

The development of virtues and moral perfection has been an aim of most religious and philosophical traditions. Moral perfection is achieved by developing more and stronger virtues, and by simultaneously avoiding the corresponding vices. Every religious tradition has a set of overt or implied virtues which the religion embraces, promotes, and expects of its adherents.
