       | Wonderful essay. I strongly recommend _After Virtue_ as an
       | introductory text to why virtue ethics is so important in the
       | modern world. I find it very unfortunate that telos, the end-
       | directed nature of people and our tools, has been wiped out by a
       | focus on Darwinian evolutionary explanations.

         | Evolution does not contradict teleology, BTW; you can use
         | genetic algorithms in an attempt to reach a well-defined
         | outcome.
