"While it is plausible enough that one could do virtuous actions without the relevant virtue (for instance under guidance), it is less obvious how one could do a virtuous action from the same motive as a virtuous person if one is not yet virtuous oneself. This problem, which motivates the entire book, Jimenez calls the moral upbringing gap."
