Admirability
Virtues, according to Michael Slote, are our inner traits or dispositions. Slote defends "balanced caring" as an admirable character trait. He believes that caring more for intimates than others is admirable. A virtuous person attains balanced caring between intimates and others. This account of virtue conceived "balanced caring" as "fundamentally admirable" and it is the basic virtue. All other virtues, such as honesty, kindness, generosity, truthfulness, and so forth, are "derivatively admirable". This paper examines Slote's view and argues that Slote should explore the opposite situation because his idea of "balanced caring" and "admirability" is so vague and misleading. In contrast to his ideas, a reverse formulation that is caring for others more than for intimates seems plausible.

On the other hand, there is another kind of beauty that is not subjective. Admirable beauty is objective. Admirability comes because of a judgment of some qualities that an object bears as a member of a particular kind of thing. For example, an English teacher might train his students to write admirable sentences. In this case, there are certain kinds of words, placed in a certain order, that make a good English sentence. Those who know English well are in a position to judge the admirability of the sentence. A carpenter is the judge of the admirability of the table. A botanist is the judge of the admirability of a flower. Experts are in the best position to judge about admirability in their particular fields. Conversely, someone who honestly says that a practice squad player for a college basketball team is better than LeBron James simply does not understand basketball.
In this paper, we investigate the diachronic fittingness conditions of admiration - that is, what it takes for a person to continue or cease to be admirable over time. We present a series of cases that elicit judgements that suggest different understandings of admiration over time. In some cases, admirability seems to last forever. In other cases, it seems that it can cease within a person's lifetime if she changes sufficiently. Taken together, these cases highlight what we call the puzzle of admiration over time. We then present a potential solution to this puzzle.

Now it's more or less outright stated in the alternate continuity Rebuilds that Kaworu maintains his memory in different universes, which would increase his admirability ranking even more, but I'm strictly sticking to the information about Kaworu clearly conveyed in his original incarnation in the TV Series and End Of Evangelion film.
Compounding onto this and increasing his admirability further, it's indicated that he is being strongly pulled into attempting a fusion that would cause catastrophic consequences, meaning that he's essentially resisting his own genetic programming by doing this, demonstrating himself to be the angel of free will.
To determine admirability, a court must look to "whether the party seeking arbitration has made a claim which on its face is governed by the contract." Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Hovey, 726 F.2d 1286, 1289 (8th Cir. 1984); see also Spear, Leeds & Kellogg v. Central Life Ass. Co., 85 F.3d 21, 28 (2d Cir.1996) (relying on claimant's allegations in analyzing admirability); Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis v. Chase Manhattan Bank, 728 F.2d 577, 578 n. 1 (2d Cir.1984) (same). Consequently, the facts as stated in Investors' Arbitration Claim are critical to the Court's ruling. Their importance is magnified by the fact that the parties' joint statement of facts sheds little light on the legal issues involved in this case.[4]
This admirable man seems to be a rebuke to the philosophies of calculated self-interest. Can we offer some account of his behavior, without descending into the tautological claim that he did what he did because he wanted to? Can we offer some insight into his wants that will make him intelligible? And not only intelligible, but can we account for him in a way that highlights his admirability, rather than suggesting that he is in some way an aberration, or perhaps even a fool? 041b061a72
