For Peter Thomas Geach, the seven (7) core virtues ARE Faith, Hope, Charity, Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Courage. Peter Thomas Geach, MA, FBA, is a 96-year-old British philosopher. His areas of interest are the history of philosophy, philosophical logic, and the theory of identity. Geach was educated at Balliol College, Oxford.

Discusses four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and courage, and the three theological virtues of faith, hope and charity. Claims moral precepts are absolute, utilitarianism is to be shunned, and sex apart from marriage is poison.

But I could have expected a New Testament sermon on "the fruit of the spirit" (is love: joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance - against such, there is no law).

The quotes from Hertz etc at the end of the pamphlet are worth more than many 'straight' commentaries.
