The events that shape our present question our habits, modify them, force us to evaluate our daily behaviors, to measure their relevance in weeks of confinement. For the author of Les Vertus communes (Paris, les belles Lettres, 2019), it's a question of observing whether we need to equip ourselves with "extra meaning", to draw on sources capable of renewing our view of life's ordinariness. The series of "minimal virtues" I propose here (twelve more like the previous ones) would like to introduce us to the richness of the unnoticed in our lives.
