Description

This lesson explores the twofold meaning of aretê, focusing on the ways in which the concept of aretê bridges the gap between philosophy and sports. Students read and critically evaluate an academic essay arguing that through the concept of aretê, the ancient Greeks created an athletic culture in which winning was valued not for its own sake but for the moral virtues that contribute to victory.
