Virtue (ar te= excellence: focus on long term character development, one should motivate by virtue not by vice, developing virtue helps us live meaningful, happy lives. We can only excel in our lives through political and economic freedom. Criticism: self-interest does not always benefit others, examples: vices as accusation: selfish, self-centered, narcissist. Individuals interpret self interest differently: differences in individual character formations, sometimes self interest is not reflected in our behavior, acts of self-less heroism: man in the potomac.
