Our Name
The Greek term “arete” (ἀρετή) is a complex and multifaceted concept. It is often translated as “excellence” or “virtue,” but these translations only capture part of its meaning. In ancient Greek philosophy, arete referred to the quality of excellence or virtue that a person could achieve in various aspects of life, including moral excellence, intellectual excellence, and physical excellence. Arete was a central concept in the works of philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. It was considered an essential component of a well-lived life, emphasizing the cultivation and fulfillment of one’s potential and the pursuit of excellence in all areas of human endeavor.
