The text reflects on the challenges of education in virtues in today's culture, highlighting the difficulty of educating in virtues in an environment that questions the existence of universal moral principles and the “disadvantage” of this educational model compared to the predominant utilitarianism. The importance of clarifying the concept of freedom and training in moral virtues, including the education of affectivity, is emphasized. It is highlighted that virtue implies the development of perfective intellectual and moral habits, and that the fundamental objective of moral formation is the true being of man. It is pointed out that education must be carried out from affective inclinations, prioritizing the stability of affections to build an education in virtues. It is emphasized that education must form emotional inclinations towards goodness and truth, and that it does not aim at professional or academic success, but at the realization of human possibilities in the natural and supernatural aspects.
