Why and in what sense are our intuitons regarding 'moral saints' opposed to the conclusion Susan Wolf reaches regarding moral sainthood?

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), grade: 1,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: This paper offers a critique of Susan Wolfs thesis that it is not desirable to be as morally good as possible. I will mainly focus on two objections that are strongly connected with each other. The first one being the notion of free will, that is, that one can only be a moral saint by choice and out of ones own free will. The secound one is the notion that a moral saint will affect their surroundings in a way that will make up for the possible downsides of moral saintliness.
