v6.
The cardinal virtues are usually quoted as prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude. They were derived directly from the Greek virtues. Jaeger (1935) writes that it is “irrelevant” that Plato used “philosophical wisdom” instead of “godliness” in the Republic (see previous note), so there may therefore be some justification in seeing “justice and temperance” in the cardinal virtues as closely related in meaning to Plato’s godliness.
