Is Virtue Knowledge?: Part 3 - Virtue as Knowledge
3#atheists #atheism #skeptics #skepticism
Welcome to part three in the 'Is Virtue Knowledge?' series! In this part we draw on the works of Aristotle, Hughes, McDowell, and Stohr to look at a way that virtue could be considered a form of knowledge. Discussing the concepts of practical skill, practical wisdom, and their relation to the application of virtue. Describing how Aristotle saw virtue, and how he saw the link between aretai (practical wisdom) and the virtues. Using examples of kindness, and the practice of medicine, in order to illustrate the link.
