This study approaches virtus as a moral value concept. The author
argues that it is only through conceptual analysis that the meaning
and value of virtus are given adequate illustration, and that
philology should be regarded as a part of practical philosophy. The
study covers Roman literature from the beginnings until Livy.
During the Roman Republican Age, virtus was considered a man's
contribution to his society and state, in terms of collectivism.
Virtus ('manliness') was thought to be more real than any of its
particular and transitory representations, i.e. individual male
citizens. On the other hand, as an existentialist value concept,
virtus at a relatively early stage denoted a man's intrinsic or
ontic value or his true self, without regard to any worldly success
whatsoever. The final analysis shows that virtus ('virtue') is
congruous with or even synonymous to individualism. This book also
presents a contribution to gender studies from the standpoint of a
man.
