A bi-modal appropriativity in a three-fold pragmatic may be the best way to think of virtuous practicality. Or/And: Thinking of practicality as appropriative may serve virtuous mindality well.

Of course, why be virtuous at all?

What is “appropriative”?

We don’t ask: Why be practical? But we often ask: What is practical [for a given situation]? And conceptual analysts— “philosophers”—come along, asking: What is being practical?

Whatever “being practical” is (being practical [exemplarity?], being practical [admirable?]), we want to “be practical” (need to be, desire to be—want as balance of need and desire).
