Abstract

Supererogatory actions include both favours to others, and creative acts benefiting directly only the agent. A favour creates an obligation on the recipient, minimally to express gratitude. Creative acts create an obligation on the community that has nurtured the agent, minimally to respect him. Supererogatory actions give their agent merit, objective or subjective.
