What about good pride?

Previously I defended Taylor’s examples of extreme vicariousness associated mainly with fictional characters, but when it comes to pride I’m going to have to say her examples aren’t as effective. In cases such as envy and sloth I could see why extreme cases could be related to vices in our everyday life. Those two vices (and I think gluttony would be one as well) come with a certain ignorance and confusion the agent has about his or her life, but in the case of pride her examples are harder to see in an average person mainly because pride isn’t always a bad thing. Taylor states in the beginning of the chapter that some forms of pride are virtuous and then goes into explaining the three types of vicious pride. But she fails to draw the line between virtuous pride and vicious pride. She spends plenty of time explaining how someone could be vain, but doesn’t apply it to the average person in terms of being virtuous. She says “the vain offer their appearance as a means of seducing others.” So how could one care about their appearance without doing so? Is the motivation and reasoning behind getting dressed the cause for vice? How does one live a life of pride without being vicious? She never fully explains it. She spends plenty of time laying out for us how arrogance can hurt the self but not how “good” self esteem could be applied in everyday life. Her examples of Coriolanus and Mrs. Skewton fail to provide us with a sense real world people which would be most helpful in explaining the viciousness of pride.
