When I started reading definations I almost gave this up as a lost cause. But I read on, and was rather impressed. All the key points come out well and succinctly. And to top it all off, the work as a whole seems quite sensical.

Ironically pragmatism is, like every other philosophical persuasion, useful for nothing more than intellectual masturbation.

On point IV of chapter I, I think you meant to say “ensue” rather than “ensure” at on point. Philosophically, you have this refined pretty well. However, there is a weakness in your definition of evil. As you have it written, it would either become void for vagueness, or possibly give rise to a dystopia in much the same way that state communism did. By defining evil as anything that could hinder the ideal state (or absolute communism), you give enough room for a state morality police to be legitimately formed.
Besides that, I think you've got it!

Unfortunately, fictionpress ate all of my brackets. If a sentence doesn't make sense, then the brackets were probably removed erroneously by fictionpress. I will try to find a way to remedy this, in the mean time if something doesn't make sense, try to add brackets around one clause.
