Virtue Ethics:

Stoicism places a strong emphasis on the importance of virtue as the highest good. Virtue encompasses qualities such as wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Stoics believe that emotions should be evaluated based on whether they align with these virtues. For instance, feeling fear when facing a morally right action might be seen as a virtuous response, whereas feeling anger without just cause may be viewed as a vice. This virtuous perspective on emotions guides individuals in aligning their emotional lives with their moral values.
