Omschrijving
This book rethinks the role of practical wisdom in light of recent developments in virtue theory and moral, social and developmental psychology. They address various topics related to practical wisdom and its development, including honesty, social cognitive theory, limited-information contexts, skill models, and the reciprocity of virtue.
"Practical wisdom is central to the virtue ethical tradition, but has been neglected in the debates over the psychology of ethical virtue and educational methods of fostering it. This volume should transform those debates by turning their attention away from behavioural outcomes and towards sound practical reasoning and judgment." – Jonathan Webber, Cardiff University, UK
"De Caro and Vaccarezza have put together a nice collection of interesting essays, each of which adroitly integrates perspectives from both psychology and philosophy on a variety of topics integral to the study of practical wisdom. This volume should be on the "wish list" of any scholars working on practical wisdom and moral psychology." – Audrey L. Anton, Western Kentucky University, USA
