Nathan L. King's The Excellent Mind considers the importance of the
intellectual virtues: the character traits of excellent thinkers.
He explains what it means to have an excellent mind: one that is
curious, careful, self-reliant, humble, honest, persevering,
courageous, open, firm, and wise. Drawing from recent literature in
philosophy and psychology, he considers what these virtues are like
in practice, why they are important, and how we grow in them. King
also argues that despite their label, these virtues are not just
for intellectuals: they are for everyone. He shows how intellectual
virtues are critical to living everyday life, in areas as diverse
as personal relationships, responsible citizenship, civil
discourse, personal success, and education. Filled with vivid
examples and relevant applications, The Excellent Mind will serve
as an engaging introduction to the intellectual virtues for
students and anyone interested in the topic.
