This is either from Dorothy Sayers or TS Eliot. A good society is one that allows you to be "good." Or better, to do the good.
This is both a good and bad definition. Its strength is its weakness. While we good Reformed folk would say something like, "A good society is based on the law of God." That is true, unless you--never mind. That is true but it doesn't say enough. It is not clear enough a statement.
the problem with the first proposed definition is that good is ambiguous. Who gets to define Good? The Muslim? Jew? Christian? Atheist?
Assuming, though, we have the proper preliminaries, it is a decent definition. I might flesh it out in a few posts.
