Humanitas

Humanitas is a set of characteristics that supposedly define what a civilized man is. Humanitas can only be preserved through exercising the human duties of solidarity, of justice, and of mercy. - cf. CASSIN, Barbara, Emily APTER, Jacques LEZRA a Michael WOOD, ed. Dictionary of Untranslatables: A Philosophical Lexicon: A one-of-a-kind reference to the international vocabulary of the humanities. 1.
