Hoping folks will share with the group their favorite papers on the topic of Perfectionism or Neo-Aristotelian Ethics. Perhaps people might add what level they think the paper is most appropriate for (grad seminar, undergrad intro, etc.). A short explanation of what the paper says or what makes it great might be useful as well.

Two somewhat older readings that I very much profited from are Hurka’s Perfectionism, esp the early chapters and Hursthouse’s On Virtue Ethics, especially the latter chapters. At least Hurka’s book could I certainly think be assigned to advanced undergrads.
Geach’s “Good and Evil” and while not a paper, Foot’s Natural Goodness.
