I think there are at least two ways of learning morality, from principles and from stories. That’s probably obvious to most folks, but I’ve been very much a ‘principles’ kind of guy for most of my life and I’ve really ignored how much I can learn from stories. Probably my biggest objection to learning from stories is that stories, for good reason, almost always skip the justification of their lessons. Mostly, they stick to just being illustrative. Now that I’m getting to be comfortable with my own justifications, I’m becoming much more satisfied with illustrations of virtue.
