Integrity Week (I-Week) is just around the corner, and on the 25th anniversary of Honor at Duke, what does living honorably mean for Duke students? 21st-century expectations of students seem simple: don’t cheat, don’t steal, live honorably. In my History of Ancient Philosophy class with Professor Michael Ferejohn, we learned that 2,500 years ago, the standards were a tad more complicated. During the time of Socrates, the Greeks’ conception of areté (αρετή), or what we now call “virtue,” was really a set of guidelines for how people should live. Though it is commonplace to use the English word “virtue” as a simple translation, areté can be more accurately thought of as excellence in general. In order to live excellently and be an excellent person, one had to possess each of the excellences: justice, piety, temperance, courage, and wisdom. No single excellence took precedence over the others, but in order to live well and be an expert in ethical matters, each of the five were integral.
