Tools for self-shaping: roles are social technology for shaping ourselves towards good understood as fulfillment of desires which are independent of those roles.2. Good-making practices: roles are parts of good-making practices which transform individuals by creating goods and initiating individuals into them.3. Self-discovery: roles are a method for gaining self-knowledge. They help each of us discover her unchosen, seedlike, initially opaque self, and thereby discover her particular good, which is that self{\textquoteright}s realization.The chapter concludes that some roles{\textquoteright} relation to the good is that they test and reveal the self and therefore its good.",
