Summary/Abstract: I try to clarify the distinction between virtues and values and I highlight the inflationary use of values as such starting with the XIX century. I elaborate on sets of virtues and virtue based evaluations. I also propose a criterion – the human rights – to differentiate between sets of virtues and I argue that the Christian set of virtues highly satisfies this criterion. I wait that recent evolutions concerning morality and even anthropology satisfy at least at the same level the criterion, the human rights. Until then we as persons and communities have to conserve the traditional virtues and morality.
