Bondade e coragem

"There is no loving action without someone to receive and return it; there is no being a good citizen without a city that accepts your claims to membership. In these cases hexis and praxis, character and activity, are so intimately connected that it would not even be possible to represent the appropriate character-states without representing action and communication – and, therefore, vulnerability. This means that interference from the world leaves no self-sufficient kernel of the person safely intact. It strikes directly at the root of goodness itself" – Martha Nussbaum, The Fragility of Goodness, 381
