Aesthetic virtue(in aesthetics and ethics): Excellence in how you perceive and appreciate beautiful things; developing a good eye and ear for what's genuinely beautiful rather than just liking whatever is trendy.
Flourishing(the positive state that might be prevented by MPS): A state of living well and reaching your full potential as a person; achieving excellence in how you live.
Refined sensory responsiveness(in aesthetics (the study of beauty and art)): The ability to notice and deeply appreciate subtle details in things you experience—like recognizing why a painting's colors work together or why a piece of music moves you emotionally.
Virtuous person(as a type of moral character in ethics): Someone who has developed good character habits so deeply that doing the right thing feels natural and easy, without inner struggle.
