Then you have to say what is good about it. Here's what I think is ______________________

-
ἄσκησις means “training” or “discipline.” Training & discipline are necessary for all skills and all virtues.
@HPluckrose -
Virtue is necessary for human flourishing and the good life. Therefore, ἄσκησις is necessary for the good life and happiness.
@HPluckrose -
Since happiness is the primary good we seek, and ἄσκησις is a necessary condition of reaching it, it is a good.
@HPluckrose -
But I'm not saying I don't see the virtue in discipline but in asceticism.

If by 'asceticism' Eve means simply training & discipline, we agree those are good in moderation in many useful forms.

Neither her nor I will admit the "in moderation" to you either without qualifications. Discipline isn't properly ->
