This view holds that we should value the perfection of each and every human being, but in aggregating human perfection we should count the greater perfections more, by some multiplier, than the lesser perfections.[5] The prioritarian version of perfectionism is not elitist, since it does not imply that the lives of those who can achieve more count for more.

Descartes' views of the function or content of pleasure and Spinoza's official definitions of pleasure as an affect of transition to greater perfection are close to Plato's, as also are one of Kant's characterizations,[18] one of Elijah Millgram's (2000, pp. 122-26), and Timothy Schroeder's (2001, 2004, discussed in §3.2).
"By Joy … I shall understand that passion by which the Mind passes to a greater perfection" (IIIp11s).
While the appeal to the perfection of the mathematical properties is great, even in these cases it is doubtful that Plato adopts an approximationist strategy (see Nehamas 1999b; 1999c).
