Sommario/riassunto

To ""look good"" and to ""be good"" have traditionally been held to be two very different things. Philosophers have seen aesthetic and ethical values as fundamentally separate. This work introduces a notion of merit in which ""being good"" and ""looking good"" are integrated into one.
