A whole.Arete was also used by Plato in his discussion of athletic training and the education of young boys.[8] It was commonly believed that the mind, body, and soul each had to be developed for a man to live a life of arete. This led to the thought that athletics had to be present in order to obtain arete. Athletics did not need to occupy one's life, but could be used to exercise the body into the right condition for arete, just as the mind and soul would be exercised by other means.[8]Arete is a significant part of the paideia of ancient Greeks: the training of the boy to manhood. This training in arete included physical training, for which the Greeks developed the gymnasion; mental training, which included oratory, rhetoric, and basic sciences; and spiritual training, which included music and what is called virtue.Aretaic turn – Normative ethical theoriesAretology – Narrative about a divine figureMaturity (psychological) – Learned ability to respond to the environment in a socially appropriate mannerMens sana in corpore sano – Latin phrase regarding health ("a healthy mind in a healthy body")Pirsig's metaphysics of Quality – Theory of realityVirtue ethics – Normative ethical theoriesVirtus – Masculine virtue in Ancient Rome^ a b c d e Liddell, H.
