Finding Virtue in the Virtual

Wonderful essay. I strongly recommend <i>After Virtue</i> 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.

First Design Purpose is the beginning and ending reality; That there is an apparent evolution to it&#x27;s teleological process is an observation, and as such the apparent end purpose changes as further points of information come to light.<p>To highlight this point, and, to gather relevant insight from the article, one only needs to understand what technology&#x27;s First Design Purpose was&#x2F;is: &#x27;To make our life better&#x27;, and, the author makes this point very clear, to the extend that technology makes our life better, to the end technology will survive (in a equitable fashion that is).<p>Throughout history, all inequities of all stripes have been countered by nature, if by none other than the ingrained natural will of humans to survive in a equitable fashion with their peers as a First Purpose.<p>Without this First Design Purpose of humans to survive, in an equitable fashion, the human species would self-annihilate, and since annihilation serves no good purpose, the brutal force of nature is set loose to decisively deal with the inequities.
