Virtue & Power is a public, free-to-read editorial site. These terms set out the basic understanding between the site and the people who read it.
Use of the site
You are welcome to read, link to, and discuss anything published here. You do not need an account; there is no login. Standard web etiquette applies: please do not attempt to disrupt the platform or to scrape it in ways that would burden the host.
Quotation and reuse
Short quotations from our entries are welcome under ordinary fair-use / fair-dealing principles. When you quote or paraphrase substantively, please link to the specific entry and attribute it to Virtue & Power. Where the entry itself cites a primary text, citing the primary text is preferable to citing this site as the source of the claim.
Substantial republication of an entry — copying the body of an essay onto another site — is not permitted without permission. Reach out through the project’s public repository if you have a use in mind.
Editorial standards
We work to the standards described on the editorial policy page. We try hard to get things right; we will not always succeed. If you find a mistake, please tell us — see the corrections section of the editorial policy.
Sources and translations
The primary classical texts referenced on this site are ancient and not under copyright. Specific modern translations referenced or linked from the sources catalog have their own rights status; we attempt to mark this honestly and conservatively, but the rights status of any particular translation is ultimately a question for the translator’s rights holder.
No warranty
This site is provided as-is. Although we work carefully and cite our sources, the editorial content is interpretive in places and may be wrong in details. Nothing on this site is legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Do not rely on it as such.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, the date at the top of this page will change with it, and the change history is visible in the project’s public commit log.
