As social and ecological transition and climate change raise issues that go far beyond individual responses, how can these challenges be balanced with ethical and political responses? This article intends to show that the strength of virtue ethics lies in the fact that it translates these abstract issues into concrete biographical events that shape lifestyles. The search for the good life in these matters then finds in temperance, humility and hospitality three virtues, private and social, to operate this translation. Humility makes explicit the deep interdependencies between the living, while temperance calls for practices that are attentive to these relationships, in the knowledge that our ways of life here have far-reaching consequences on the other side of the globe. This in turn invites us to restore hospitality to its cosmopolitical dimension.

节制、谦逊和热情好客：人类世时刻的三种美德？

由于社会和生态转型以及气候变化引发的问题远远超出了个人应对措施的范围，这些挑战如何与道德和政治应对措施相平衡？本文旨在表明，美德伦理的力量在于它将这些抽象问题转化为塑造生活方式的具体传记事件。在这些问题上对美好生活的追求会在节制、谦逊和热情好客中找到三种美德，私人的和社会的，来运作这种翻译。谦卑清楚地表明了生者之间深刻的相互依存关系，而节制则需要关注这些关系的做法，因为我们知道我们在这里的生活方式会对地球的另一端产生深远的影响。这反过来又要求我们恢复热情好客的世界政治维度。
