This reminded me in part of the work of Francis Su on math and the virtues: math and human flourishing https://youtu.be/FTXhj-puDgw

Mathematical practice can be a means of achieving the various virtues, and ‘show up’ (or make us more sensitive to) our vices. Meaning that there is something inherently good in the learning and practice of math, for it to lead to more good and to manifest to us what is bad.
