Stoic Concept
Kathorthoma
Perfectly virtuous actions performed by the ideal sage.
Kathorthoma represents the highest level of moral action - deeds performed by someone with perfect wisdom and virtue. These actions are not just externally correct but flow from pure motives and complete understanding. While such perfection may be rare or theoretical, the concept of kathorthoma provides a standard for measuring our own actions and progress. It reminds us that virtue is not just about following rules but about the quality of character from which our actions spring.
