   Is modesty a virtue?

   Oct 31, 2018 · This is taken to explain the key features of modesty: it is a dependent virtue since there is another quality one is ignorant of, it is not purely behavioral so allows for false modesty, and it recognizes self-attribution strangeness, since modesty itself is a good quality.
