A Journal of Everyday Virtues

Carlin Romano from The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a great article titled Journal making the Virtues devilishly interesting. The article describes In Character: A Journal of Everyday Virtues.

 

According to In Character’s website, “Each issue will examine a single virtue from different perspectives, bringing together scholars and journalists versed in public policy, the humanities, religion, and the sciences.” There are three issues per year.

 

Its current issue addresses the virtue of “Courage.” It includes such topics as “Were the 9/11 Terrorists Brave?,” “Courage: Ten Great Moments,” “Is Courage a Masculine Virtue?” and more.

 

In the past, virtues such as “Loyalty,” “Generosity,” “Honesty,” “Compassion,” and “Thrift” have been addressed.

 

In Character is supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
