Drawing upon my critical appropriation of Alasdair MacIntyre’s account of the rationality of traditions, I undertake to explain and demonstrate how the competing conceptual frameworks of distinct traditions of educational inquiry and practice can be assessed through dialectical argument. To illustrate the ‘method’ of dialectic, I argue that the set of metaethical commitments I call ‘the ethics of transcendent virtue’ has important advantages for teaching courses in professional ethics over the ‘constructivist-postmodern-moral-pragmatism’ informing Robert J. Nash’s text ‘Real world’ Ethics: Frameworks (...) |

The impetus of this work is to locate specific moments wherein human dominion is invoked within educational efforts that purportedly champion (...) |

It then organizes and summaries the articles that were located (...) |

The idea that there is an important place in philosophical aesthetics for virtues of art is not new, but it is now undergoing a serious re‐examination. Why might this be? What are the principles behind virtue aesthetics? Are there any good arguments for the theory? (I will take virtue aesthetics to be the theory that there is a central place for virtues of art.) What problems does virtue aesthetics face? And what might the implications be of virtue aesthetics both in (...) |
