and humanities, including philosophy

you seem to be transposing human aspirations onto religion
virtue can be pursued without faith in anything
do you want to get into the circular logic of absurdism though?
Virtue isn't that kind of morals. Virtue in the ancient sense is traits connected with happiness, not God and his arbitrary whims. Virtue is biology.
>>8069701
it's not literature
No. Only faith is faith. If you disagre ur a fedora xD.
>>8069656
Who cares? Virtues are understood by the ancients as habits that won't fuck you up in the long run. They require as much faith as anything else.

this is such a dumb question, every piece of knowledge is based on faith to a certain degree, your states of mind which are virtue's are just as faith as anything else, but do they work? do they stay true to the test of existing and trial and error? try and see for yourself, that's the whole point of philosophy.
