Abstract

In the evolution of moral reflection, virtue is being rediscovered as an appropriate category to express the striving towards moral perfection in the life of a Christian. A virtue ethics centered on the person entails a revision of the most important categories that express the objective and subjective dimensions: the law and the moral norm, the free and responsible conscience, etc. In the formative work that calls for the reintegration of virtue ethics, accompaniment is reborn as a necessary means for the spiritual and moral growth of the person in contemporary times.
