Virtue and the Quiet Art of Scholarship offers a fresh perspective
on what it is to be a 'good knower' in a social and educational
environment dominated by the market order. It explores how narrowly
conceived epistemic virtues might be broadened out by seeing those
who work and study in the university in their full humanity. In an
era characterized by deep and enduring social and cultural
divisions, it offers a timely, accessible and critical perspective
on the perils of retreating behind disciplinary boundaries,
reminding readers of the need to remain open to the other in a time
of increased social and political polarization. Drawing on the work
of Leonard Cohen, Ali Smith, Italo Calvino and Raymond Carver, the
book seeks to move across disciplines and distort the line between
the humanities and the social sciences as a way of bringing them
closer together. It explores virtue in the context of scholarship
and research, particularly how the 'virtues of unknowing' challenge
traditional notions of the 'good knower'. The book offers the
framework within which to bridge the gap between 'us' and 'them' in
relation to developments in the university sector, addressing the
urgent need for a form of language that promotes unity over
division. Virtue and the Quiet Art of Scholarship will be vital
reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the
fields of philosophy of education, sociology of education, research
methods in education and education policy.
