Found this interesting chapter from a (quite expensive) book. Not sure why the authors differentiate between #secular and #religious concepts, but nonetheless a very interesting discussion.

The "Virtuous Continuum of Responses" in Fig. 2 has two apparent aspects:
1️⃣ Commitment to following the #law or to #self_guidance
2️⃣ Commitment to #society or to a #self_interest
I find it intriguing that by looking at it this way it seems like a religious individual may become #moral but never #virtuous. A truly #virtuous individual has to be prepared to oppose the #law of the land (both secular and religious) if it endangers "long-term value creation and the duties owed to all stakeholders".

I vividly recall my first HP Pocket Calculator with Reverse Polish Notation I had during my undergraduate studies:
