Temperance: A Surprisingly Progressive Crusade
Pete Wright
It goes back to Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius and Immanuel Kant, as well as religious figures and movements. Interestingly, in classical philosophy, Aristotle, for example, in Nicomachean Ethics, defined temperance as a virtue that avoids extremes and finds a balance between excess and deficiency. and views it as essential for achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing.
