Reading The Refinement of Character | Alexandria
Read The Refinement of Character by Ibn Miskawayh. Merging Islamic and Greek wisdom, Ibn Miskawayh's guide reveals how virtues are trainable skills, not fixed traits - a radical idea that upends modern beliefs about character. His proof? Just as exercise shapes the body, daily moral choices rewire our ethical instincts, making goodness achievable through practice rather than preaching.
