Ethicists and psychologists have become increasingly interested in
the development of virtue in recent years, approaching the topic
from the perspectives of virtue ethics and developmental psychology
respectively. Such interest in virtue development has spread beyond
academia, as teachers and parents have increasingly striven to
cultivate virtue as part of education and child-rearing. Looking at
these parallel trends in the study and practice of virtue
development, the essays in this volume explore such questions as:
How can philosophical work on virtue development inform
psychological work on it, and vice versa? How should we understand
virtue as a dimension of human personality? What is the
developmental foundation of virtue? What are the evolutionary
aspects of virtue and its development? How is virtue fostered? How
is virtue exemplified in behavior and action? How is our conception
of virtue influenced by context and by developmental and social
experiences? What are the tensions, impediments and prospects for
an integrative field of virtue study? Rather than centering on each
discipline, the essays in this volume are orgnaized around themes
and engage each other in a broader dialogue. The volume begins with
an introductory essay from the editors that explains the full range
of philosophical and empirical issues that have surrounded the
notion of virtue in recent years.
