I tried, but I could not find the definition of "aretological" or any of its forms in my dictionary. Your paper seems well thought out, but I would need to know what that word means to fully understand it.
P.S. "karmic food chain" would be a great name for a band.
Yeah, most dictionaries don't have it. Try looking under
aretololgy for a basic defintion. It's essentially virtue-based ethics, which states that the virtue of the individual is more important than any act of the individual. So while teleology (that one should be in the dictionary) is more ends-based, asking
what the person did, and deontology is more duty-based, aretology puts the emphasis on the individual and their own virtue rather than on specific acts.
Hope that makes sense
If you put into .rtf, I'd be able to read it though.
Of course, I should have done that initially. Rich text format version:
