The necessity of the feminine virtues in the formation of the citizen
South African Society for Greek Philosophy and the Humanities; Marangianou, E.
The present paper aims to accentuate the necessity of feminine virtues in the formation of citizens, and the significanee they acquire for a person wishing to participate in public affairs in contemporary society. In so doing, reference is made to examples stemming from the long history of the Greek thought. To begin with, feminine virtue was of great importanee in ancient Greece, as both Plato and Aristotle had observed, despite the fact that, at the time, women did not participate actively as citizens in the management of polities.
