I say we already are charitable on the job and businesslike in the Vestry Meeting. Not perfectly so, but more than is commonly thought. The two worlds already balance and interpenetrate. The theological virtues, notice, have a stereotypically feminine air, or at any rate are not the virtues of the soldier. Economics, since its invention as a system of thought in the eighteenth century, has spoken mainly of that middle virtue of the seven, prudence, an androgynous virtue counted good in both men and women as stereotypically viewed.
Prudence is a virtue.
But the ancients I think had it right. We want to have people around us who are prudent, who can take care of themselves - every parent knows that. Of course we also want our children or our friends and fellows to be courageous, temperate, just, loving, faithful, and hopeful. The main point anyway is that ethics cannot be reduced without grave loss to The One, to an essential juice of goodness in the style of Plato. And among the Aristotelian Many, I say, the virtue of prudence is not to be scorned.
