# On Virtues

> A comprehensive framework of virtues proposed for consensus, covering supreme virtues (Faith, Charity, Hope), cardinal virtues (Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Fortitude), and natural virtues. Explore virtue ethics, moral philosophy, and ethical frameworks.

The Laurel Project presents a systematic framework for understanding and categorizing virtues. This resource covers the philosophical foundations, hierarchies, dependencies, and practical applications of virtues across traditions.
