aretê

Aretê implies a respect for the wholeness or oneness of life, and a consequent dislike of specialization. It implies a contempt for efficiency — or rather a much higher idea of efficiency, an efficiency which exists not in one department of life but in life itself.

- H. D. F. Kitto
(an excerpt from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig)
