Featuring original essays from leading scholars in philosophy and
psychology, this volume investigates and rethinks the role of
practical wisdom in light of the most recent developments in virtue
theory and moral, social and developmental psychology. The concept
of phronesis has long held a prominent place in the development of
Aristotelian virtue ethics and moral education. However, the nature
and development of phronesis is still in need of investigation,
especially because of the new insights that in recent years have
come from both philosophy and science. The essays in this volume
contribute to the debate about practical wisdom by elucidating its
role in empirical psychology and advancing important new research
questions. They address various topics related to practical wisdom
and its development, including honesty, ecocentric phronesis,
social cognitive theory, practical wisdom in limited-information
contexts, Whole Trait Theory, skill models, the reciprocity of
virtue, and challenges from situationism. Practical Wisdom will
interest researchers and advanced students working in virtue
ethics, moral psychology, and moral education.
This book addresses current threats to citizenship and democratic
values posed by the spread of post-truth communication. The
contributors apply research on moral, civic, and epistemic virtues
to issues involving post-truth culture. The spread of post-truth
communication affects ordinary citizens’ commitment to truth and
attitudes toward information sources, thereby threatening the
promotion of democratic ideals in public debate. The chapters in
this volume investigate the importance of helping citizens improve
the quality of their online agency and raise awareness of the risks
social media poses to democratic values. This book moves from two
initial chapters that provide historical background and overview of
the present post-truth malaise, through a series of chapters that
feature mainly diagnostic accounts of the epistemic and ethical
issues we face, to the complexities of virtue-theoretic analyses of
specific virtues and vices. Virtues, Democracy, and Online Media
will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in
virtue ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and media
studies.
