The presente paper aims discusses the concept of “beauty”/kalón in the virtue of integrity. It is known that this adjetive applies to the arts relative to the estate of its
final products, however Aristotle presents two arguments to show that the virtues/dispositions differ from the arts/competencies. Thus, it is necessary to examinate
by what criteria we can attribute “beauty” to the actions performed. Moreover, there are authors who supports that the integrity is a rational virtue, an “episteme”. Thus
when investigating the attibuition of “beauty” to the actions, we defend the integrity as a moral virtue answering to moral intellectualism.
