In the mid-20th century eudaemonism and virtue ethics were revived as sophisticated and psychologically more realistic alternatives to action-based ethical theories such as consequentialism. In Western history the emphasis on virtuous action as the goal of learning was a founding principle of humanism and especially characterized the work of English humanists from Thomas Elyot to John Milton. According to Christian teaching, the theological virtues do not originate from humanity, as do the natural virtues instead they are imparted by God. To these four, Christianity added the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. These are prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice and are considered natural, or cardinal (from Latin cardo, “hinge”), virtues because on them all lesser attitudes hinge.
