Hi Squonk,

I would want to hang on to virtue language for its specificity (ie there are
high quality static
latches at all levels - how do you distinguish level 4 from the others). It
may not be the best word
though.
sq: Thanks. It's just that i get concerned when i have to stop using MoQ
terms. I find that confusing.

Where

Eudaimonia is (obviously) a Greek term, but I wouldn't want it to be
exclusively identified with
Aristotle, and I see no need why it should. My understanding is more derived
from Alasdair
MacIntyre, to be honest (a second-hand amalgam of Aristotle and Aquinas) but
I'd like to think it
could be judged on its own merits.
Cheers
Sam
sq: Fair enough. Please don't think i am trying to indulge in a bit of
Christian bashing here, but are you trying to, 'Do an Aquinas' by fusing
Christianity with the MoQ - like Aquinas did with Aristotle and Christianity?
Come on, the game's up! ;)
It's a bit of shame you don't embrace MoQ terms? But as a Christian, that's
not going to happen is it? I should just forget trying to twist your arm
shouldn't i?
