One of the most important developments in modern moral philosophy is the resurgence of interest in the virtues In this new book Daniel Russell explores two important hopes for such an approach to moral thought that starting from the virtues should cast light on what makes an action right and that notions like character virtue and vice should yield a plausible picture of human psychology Russell argues that the key to each of these hopes is an understanding of the cognitive and deliberative skills involved in the virtues If right action is defined in terms of acting generously or kindly then these virtues must involve skills for determining what the kind or generous thing to do would be on a given occasion Likewise Russell argues that understanding virtuous action as the intelligent pursuit of virtuous goals yields a promising picture of the psychology of virtue This book develops an Aristotelian account of the virtue of practical intelligence or phronesisan excellence of deliberating and making choiceswhich Russell argues is a necessary part of every virtue This emphasis on the roots of the virtues in the practical intellect contrasts with ambivalence about the practical intellect in much recent work on the virtuesa trend Russell argues is ultimately perilous for virtue theory This book also takes a penetrating look at issues like the unity of the virtues responsibility for character and that elusive figure the virtuous person Written in a clear and careful manner Practical Intelligence and the Virtues will appeal to philosophers and students alike in moral philosophy and moral psychology
