Research on Generativity and Moral Character

Neither by nature, then nor contrary to nature do the virtues arise in  us; rather we are adapted by nature to receive them, and are made perfect by habit.
   - Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics

Some such combination [of generative ways] must assure the vitality of an order of care to those wide areas of adult involvements, which according to a Hindu expression guarantee the "maintenance of the world." All this, in short, leads to participation in areas of involvement in which one can learn to take care of what one truly cares for.
