The present article studies the notion of the virtues from Kant and Farabi's point of view, comparing the similarities and differences on this issue in their philosophy, concentrating on the following questions:What is the virtue? What is its origin? Is it acquired or innate? In case it is acquired, what are the conditions of its possibility? Whether virtue is relative or absolute? And what is its relation to the Good, Golden means, Wisdom, and will?
