In the traditions of virtue ethics that understand genuine moral character as that which flourishes most completely when sustained by the most authentic and generous abundance (the Aristotelian concept of virtue requiring the most favorable conditions and resources, the traditions of hospitality and generous sustenance as the most fundamental moral expression), the Ika Ose principle is given its most philosophically significant expression: the moral virtue (Ika) sustained by the most generous sweetness (Ose). The concept of the nourished virtue (where the most genuine moral character is most completely authentic because it is most abundantly and generously sustained) is the most complete expression of the Ika Ose principle.
