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.
Though virtue ethics is enjoying a resurgence, the topic of virtue
cultivation has been largely neglected by philosophers. This volume
remedies this gap, featuring mostly new essays, commissioned for
this collection, by philosophers, theologians, and psychologists at
the forefront of research into virtue. Each contribution focuses on
some aspect of virtue development, either by highlighting virtue
cultivation within distinctive traditions of ethical or religious
thought, or by taking a developmental perspective to yield fresh
insights into criticisms of virtue ethics, or by examining the
science that explains virtue development. The essays by Russell and
Driver investigate virtue cultivation or problems associated with
it from Aristotelian and utilitarian perspectives. Slote addresses
virtue development from the sentimentalist standpoint. Swanton and
Cureton and Hill explore self-improvement, the former with an eye
to offering solutions to critiques of virtue ethics, the latter
from a Kantian ethical vantage point. Slingerland examines
contemporary psychology as well as virtue development in the
Confucian tradition to counter situationist criticisms of virtue
ethics. Flanagan, Bucar, and Herdt examine how virtue is cultivated
in the Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian traditions, respectively.
Narvaez, Thompson, and McAdams offer descriptive insights from
psychology into virtue development. The result is a collection of
extremely creative essays that not only fills the current gap but
also promises to stimulate new work on a philosophically neglected
yet vital topic.
Loose remake of the 1980 horror film. Brittany Snow stars as Donna
Keppel, a troubled girl who is preparing to celebrate her senior
prom. A few years earlier Donna's parents were murdered by Richard
Fenton, one of her old teachers who had developed a dangerous
obsession with her. Donna survived and three years later she is
willing to put her past behind her and look to the future with
optimism. Unfortunately, the man she thought had gone forever has
escaped from prison and is willing to kill anyone who attempts to
stop him from reuniting with his one and only Donna.
