A visual schema for conceptualizing the virtues in evolutionary and theological terms. Although this illustrative representation already demands–in my mind–modification, I am going to resist the temptation to improve it. It is fully adequate as a conversation starter. After all, your thoughts are what I want to provoke, not my establishment of the canonical “rule of all things.” Like St. Thomas, I hope I have the humility to say that (on this topic) I will write no more: I have seen the vision and it is far beyond me. Better, though, that you all peck at the edges, you will more reliably continue the work.
