GA18:106 – ethikos

Ἠθικóς [êthikos] does not mean “moral”; one must not superficially hold oneself to words when considering the “ethical virtues.” Ἦθος [êthos] means the “comportment” of human beings, how the human being is there, how he offers himself as a human being, how he appears in being-with-one-another—the way that the orator speaks, has a comportment in the way he stands with respect to the matters about which he speaks.
