ABSTRACT

Many thinkers are accustomed to separating facts and values—knowledge and morality. They believe that morality enters into the choices scientists and scholars make about what is worth studying, but after that, the cold logic of evidence assessment takes over. This sells science and scholarship short. I will suggest that science and scholarship, done right, are the best exemplars we have of a set of intellectual virtues that are essential if we are to be moral individuals living in a moral society. These virtues include love of truth, fair-mindedness, perseverance, and wisdom. Science and scholarship with these virtues is a way of interacting with the world to which we should all aspire. Nurturing these intellectual virtues, and not job training, is what university education should be for. Students with intellectual virtues will be better employees, in whatever career path they follow. And they will also be better citizens, willing to contribute to societal well-being in general.

科学、学术和智力美德:高等教育应该是什么样的指南

摘要

许多思想家习惯于将事实和价值观——知识和道德——分开。他们认为道德进入科学家和学者对什么值得研究的选择,但在那之后,证据评估的冷酷逻辑接管了。这卖空了科学和学术。我会建议,科学和学术,如果做得对,是我们拥有的一系列智力美德的最佳范例,如果我们要成为生活在道德社会中的道德个体,这些美德是必不可少的。这些美德包括热爱真理、公正、毅力和智慧。具有这些美德的科学和学术是与我们都应该向往的世界互动的一种方式。培养这些智力美德,而不是职业培训,才是大学教育的目的。有智力美德的学生会是更好的员工,在他们遵循的任何职业道路上。他们也将成为更好的公民,愿意为整体社会福祉做出贡献。
