This is the natural order of things, the way the cosmos is constructed such that the closer we approximate its perfection, the better we are and the more good we are doing and the more good there is in the world.
The Great Chain of Being has some precedents in Aristotle's De Anima, where he ranks the Prime Mover, then Man qua rational being, then animal, vegetable, and mineral, each with their own kind of essence, and it also has overtones of Plato's Theory of Forms, such that the true nature of reality is not the sensible world we experience but the perfect models of things that physical things do better or worse in approximating. So, the more out societies align with the natural order as clarified in the Chain of Being the closer to perfection, to ideal reality, which is true reality, we are.
