23. Ethics / C. Virtue Theory / 2. Elements of Virtue Theory / c. Motivation for virtue

9251	One can be virtuous through a whim [Camus]
	Full Idea: One can be virtuous through a whim.
	From: Albert Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus [1942], 'Abs Man')
	A reaction: A nice remark. Obviously neither Aristotle nor Kant would be too impressed by someone who did this, and Aristotle would certainly say that it is not really virtue, but merely right behaviour. I agree with Aristotle.
