The emotional dimension of virtues has long been marginalized and even entirely neglected, with too much importance having being attached to the rational dimension of virtues. Emotions constitute the fundamental basis of virtues, supplying endless inner driving force to the formation of virtues. By putting more stress to the cultivation of moral emotions, the effectiveness of moral education in the schools will be dramatically improved and enhanced.

Even after the virtues have been successfully cultivated, emotions are still needed to further strengthen and solidify the virtues, after all, just like the plants and flowers, without the proper watering and sunshine, the virtues also tend to wither. |
