Virtue at the Crossroads of Experience, Reason and Trust

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The present essay is aimed at illustrating just some aspects of the relationship between virtue, reason, experience and trust. First, it shows that trust generates virtuous actions as well as virtues. Then, it explains that the genesis of virtue and its apex imply trust. Then it argues that the intellectual virtue of phronesis supports practical reason in forming a virtuous experience and that ethical virtues support practical and speculative Reason. Finally, it shows that virtue generates experience and is generated by it.
