Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between intellectual virtues and critical thinking, both as such and as educational ends worth pursuing. The first half of the paper examines the intersection of intellectual virtue and critical thinking. The second half addresses a recent argument to the effect that educating for intellectual virtues (in contrast to educating for critical thinking) is insufficiently action-guiding and therefore lacks a suitable pedagogy.
Keywords:
- virtue epistemology,
- philosophy of education,
- intellectual virtues,
- critical thinking
Résumé
Cet article explore la relation entre les vertus intellectuelles et la pensée critique, à la fois en tant que telles et en tant que buts éducatifs dignes d'être poursuivis. La première moitié de l'article examine l'intersection de la vertu intellectuelle et de la pensée critique. La seconde partie aborde un argument récent selon lequel l'enseignement des vertus intellectuelles (par opposition à l'enseignement de la pensée critique) est insuffisante pour guider l'action pédagogique et manque donc d'une pédagogie adéquate.
