What is required of one to be considered a virtuous person? Avoiding evil is not sufficient to be virtuous; one must also actively choose to do good. Ransom‚ in C.S. Lewis’s book Out of the Silent Planet‚ performed three virtuous acts‚ one in promising an old woman to find her boy‚ two in tearing himself from the hrossa in order to prevent two unsavory characters from disturbing them any longer‚ and three in sharing his unparallelled experiences. When Ransom promised an old‚ worried woman that he
