Via media
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Via Media is a Latin phrase meaning ‘The Middle Road’. This is a philosophical maxim for life which advocates moderation in all thoughts and actions. The Via Media was the dominant philosophical precept by which Ancient Roman civilisation and society was organised.
This precept of moderation in all things was derived from earlier Ancient Greek philosophy where Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) taught moderation - urging his students to follow the middle road between extremes.
