The article titled "A Theory of Collective Virtue" explores the concept of virtues and vices in groups or collectives. The authors propose a theory called "Imitationism," which suggests that collectives can possess virtues and vices through reasonably broad and stable dispositions that imitate individual virtues and vices. The text discusses the practical advantages of recognizing collective virtues and vices, such as enabling moral criticism and motivating individuals within the group. It also addresses objections to the idea of collective virtues and discusses the compatibility of the Content Imitation view with the "phenomenal intentionality research program." Overall, the text suggests that collectives can possess virtues that are similar to individual virtues, albeit in a different way. [Extracted from the article]

Although prior research documents a positive relationship between religious involvement and emotional well-being among incarcerated individuals, the salutary effect of religion on mental health remains in need of scientific scrutiny. To examine this understudied issue, we hypothesized that prisoner religiosity is positively associated with virtues, which are in turn inversely related to negative emotions. To test this hypothesis, we applied structural equation modeling to analyze data from a survey with a convenience sample of 139 males housed at a Colombian prison. As hypothesized, we found that both public (religious service attendance) and private religious behaviors (praying and reading a sacred book) were positively associated with the virtues of forgiveness, self-control, and gratitude. Additionally, we found that forgiveness and self-control were inversely related to state anger, depression, and anxiety. Finally, self-control was central in explaining the relationship between religious service attendance and state anger. Implications and limitations of the present findings are discussed.

The article focuses on an exploration of scholarly vices and virtues, investigating the continuity of the moral vocabulary concerning virtues and vices throughout history and its relevance in academia. It discusses the development of scholarly practices and the assessment of scientists' behaviors over time, emphasizing collaborative research across disciplines and periods as essential in understanding long-term intellectual history.

The article discusses John Henry Schlegel's book, "While Waiting for Virtue," which examines the economic rise and decline of Buffalo, New York, and the longing for prosperity experienced by communities. It explores the perspectives of Machiavelli and Madison on how republics can endure periods of waiting for virtue. The text suggests that communities should focus on improving their current situation rather than trying to recreate past prosperity, and offers strategies such as supporting a strong middle class and promoting acceptance and cooperation in the face of decline or corruption. The goal is to find ways to make life bearable while waiting for change. [Extracted from the article]

The Chapters in Political Verse is a collection of one hundred paraenetic chapters focusing on vices and virtues, transmitted in the Par.gr. 2750A and the Vat.gr. 1898 (fourteenth century) and containing fragments of the lost novel Aristandros and Kallithea by Constantine Manasses (twelfth century). This article offers a discussion on the authorship and audience of the Chapters (better known under the title Moral Poem and attributed to Manasses), arguing that it belongs firmly in the Palaiologan period and was not composed by Manasses. It pays particular attention to the way in which the anonymous author worked with the Manassean hypotext. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Civility provides norms for engaging in discourse on topics that yield harm or benefit to others, affect the conditions of our lives, and drive public policy--in short, on topics that matter, morally and politically. While discourse on moral and political matters is already difficult in face-to-face and interpersonal conversations, online interactions through social media pose unique challenges for interactions and exchanges. Using research from philosophy, psychology, behavioral economics, and computer science, I explain how the intellectual virtue of civility can be fostered within individuals as a developed trait of internalized norms to guide how one engages with others when evaluating beliefs and contentious issues. Like the development of any virtue, the development of civility takes time, practice, and effort, but it can be fostered even in online contexts through the careful contextualization of experience and practiced behaviors. Altering tech design through the use of goal setting, nudges, gamification, and in-group priming allows for repeatable behaviors to be practiced and modified. Shifting from a focus on policies for content moderation to a focus on users' choices within online interactions--and deeper consideration for how designs affect users' options, choices, and agency--allows us to capitalize on insights from moral psychology and education to see new ways forward in combatting incivility in online contexts.

The University of Warwick has been subjected to two apparently contradictory critiques. The first, associated with social historian EP Thompson, is that the university had been captured by a cabal of industrialists intending to use its faculties to reproduce capitalistic managers. A second, more general critique of universities in Britain since 1945 is that their elite liberal education in the arts and abstract sciences had little contribution to make to meeting the national economic and social needs for technological 'manpower'. Neither of these accounts satisfactorily explains the early development at Warwick. An alliance between educators and local Midlands' industrialists at Warwick developed an education in the virtues of liberal capitalism, reinventing the traditional university education in moral character to face the challenges of the mid-twentieth century. In the midst of the Cold War, only with such an education could students help meet the needs of local and national industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This thorough investigation uses archaeology to uncover the nuanced elements of Confucian schooling. The study discovers intriguing results using a thorough methodology that incorporates geographical analysis, archival research, and regression analysis. The study reveals a strong association between later chronological periods and the abundance of Confucian educational sites in terms of temporal insights. This represents the Confucian educational system's continuing strength through out the ages, a narrative meticulously revealed via the preservation of ancient artefacts through archaeology. The importance of cultural context becomes clear, revealing the intricate connection between Confucianism and the environment in which it developed. The incorporation of Confucian principles into cultures and how they changed and evolved in response to cultural developments are clearly illustrated through archaeological artefacts and analysis. As archaeology brings real artefacts to life and provides glimpses into the instruments, writings, and lessons that molded previous generations of researchers, material culture assumes center stage. The study also investigates the intricate interaction between external forces and regional dynamics. The geographical elements and architecture that affected the foundation and expansion of Confucian educational sites are revealed by archaeology. In essence, this study emphasizes how crucial archaeology is to uncovering the treasures of Confucian education, protecting its heritage, and better understanding its continuing influence on society and education.

Written in the radical Jacobin context of the 1790s, Mary Hays's novel lies at the intersection of reason, as theorised by William Godwin, and feeling, as portrayed by Claude-Adrien Helvétius, both seen as sources of virtue and truth. Emma vacillates between these two faculties of the mind in order to propel into action an early feminist mode of expression and agency fuelled by her reading practices, particularly when she comes across Rousseau's Julie; or, The New Heloise. I argue that such reading practices prove to be perilous, or rather quixotic, as they highlight a female enthusiast whose laudable intellect and eloquence are eclipsed by her overriding passions, which, contrary to Helvétius's sensationism, obstruct the development of her own character [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Critical scholars have long critiqued the circumscribed theoretical boundaries of political communication research in its dominant disciplinary identity. This identity is usually attributed to the hegemonic authority of a functionalist paradigm of political communication anchored in the use of positivist epistemologies and quantitative methods. This article revisits these old debates from a post-foundational discourse theoretical perspective, drawing on arguments about the ontological implications of 'the political' to examine political communication's hegemonic disciplinary form. The primarily theoretical argument is supported by an elementary empirical method that examines how the signifiers 'ontology' and 'the political,' and theorists associated with that vocabulary, are cited in a 24-year archive of articles from the journal Political Communication which we frame as a proxy for the dominant disciplinary identity. We argue that the relative invisibility of an otherwise influential political ontology literature in the journal supports our argument about the lack of theoretical pluralism in political communication research and suggests the enduring authority of a dominant disciplinary habitus that, even when it recognizes paradigmatic differences, sees methodological virtue as the guarantee of scholarly rigour. We end by reflecting on the politics of how different (inter)disciplinary identities are articulated in communication studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ethical codes are an important resource for decision making within Library and Information Science (LIS). Despite this, however, codes are often criticized for failing to capture the complexity of practical ethical decision making. In response, this paper sketches a reinterpretation of the code as a manifestation of professional virtue. First, existing literature relating to codes within LIS--typically constituted via content analysis--is explored. Second, it is argued that, by focusing only on content, existing literature struggles to provide a bridge between the code as an abstract document and practical ethical decision making. Third, to respond to this criticism, it is argued the code's meta-ethical foundation should be rebuilt. Jonathan Dancy's moral particularism forms an alternative meta-ethical basis for codes' application. Particularism dispenses with invariant moral principles and brings an essential contextual awareness to moral debate. To retain the code as a normative aide, however, a particularist reading can be aligned with Christine Swanton's target centered virtue ethics. Seen this way, the principles that constitute codes are reinterpreted as professional virtues. This reading creates a positive sum whereby the code is both action-guiding yet context sensitive. Future research, it is argued, should look to develop a virtue-based taxonomy that recognizes the granularity of moral debate within LIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present review examines whether commonalities and differences can be detected in the content of eudaimonic entertainment. We focused on two features: the fundamental human needs that were threatened, and the specific virtues that were portrayed. The results showed that the examined materials often included a combination of portrayals of threats to the fundamental human needs for safety, health and relatedness, and portrayals of the virtue of humanity, like love and kindness. Two subcategories could be distinguished in the materials, one in which the focus is on the portrayal of virtue as an answer to threatened needs, and one in which the focus is on the portrayal of threatened needs in which characters struggle even though they also have virtue.

This article critiques conspicuous displays of morality within public discourse, recently framed as 'moral grandstanding', from the perspective of an intersubjective Critical Realist theory of ethics. Drawing on Honneth's recognition theory as the basis of a 'qualified explanatory critique', I argue that these practices are not mere aberrations within moral discourse, but a necessary consequence of the neoliberal imperative to turn all aspects of the self into market assets. Neoliberal commodity fetishism also and especially involves the commodification of moral character as a means of economic competition, as exemplified in recent discussions of 'ethical capital'. This objectification categorically precludes intersubjectivity as the basis of ethical life, and produces a cognitive structure resembling narcissistic pathology, characterized by the pervasive objectification of self and other. Critical Realists should therefore reject moral grandstanding not only for its detrimental effects on public discourse, but because in subordinating morality to the market, it is fundamentally anti-ethical.

There is a broad discussion concerning the importance of the self (nafas) in Islamic ethics. This discussion is based upon the primary sources of Islam, the scripture, and Sunnah. However, the idea of the human heart (Qalb) is not so widely discussed, which is considered integral to the self. This idea needs further exploration concerning its relationship to ethics. Ethics is an essential part of the Islamic worldview, and the measure of authentic, ethical behavior is intentionality which is an attribute of the heart. The Islamic sources assert that the ethical agent must possess a 'sound heart' that is free of vices and which, by belief, Iman, provides strength and motivation for good actions. Therefore, proper ethical behavior emanates from the heart. The critical point is that intentionality as the property of the heart matters in Islamic ethics because ethical accountability is ultimately before God in Islam. Therefore, a Muslim is responsible for safeguarding his heart from temptations and vices. The hearts can experience sickness and hardness through repeatedly sinning. Therefore, a Muslim should keep his heart clean from vices. In ethical decision-making, the heart's purity will lead to good actions and better understanding. The heart has intellectual and cognitive powers that can help make ethical decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chinese traditional culture creatively integrates "virtue" and "rite" into a competitive sports activity, which is used to cultivate the ideal social citizen - gentleman. This study creatively transforms the moral education value and etiquette education endowed by Chinese traditional sports into the modern physical education curriculum system, and forms a comprehensive physical education model of "four-dimensional education" of virtue, rite, art and physique by combining the western physical education technology teaching and strengthening the physical education function. Through excavating and inheriting the cultural value of Chinese traditional sports and cooperating with the development of Art of Archery curriculum, the author seeks the sports education function of both inside and outside, so as to connecting with the comprehensive value of Chinese traditional sports culture in all aspects and realizing the educational goal of "building people by virtue" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper argues that Cicero's critique of Epicureanism in De finibus is motivated by a concern about its degrading effect on the moral sensibility of Rome's best men. In place of earlier objections to Epicureanism, which centered on its inability to explain or recommend the virtuous conduct of Roman maiores, De finibus focuses on its inability to do so properly and, more prospectively, to assist boni in the work of maintaining the dignity and respectability of Roman civic life. Responding to optimates like Cassius who claimed that Epicureanism was compatible with Roman politics because it treats virtue as being necessary for pleasure, Cicero holds that instrumentalizing virtue in this way is actually a grave corruption of it. Not only do Epicureans debase politics by reducing it to considerations of utility alone: they also introduce deeper forms of civic confusion by distorting and abusing the very idea of honorableness.

In 1193, King Richard I of England was taken captive by the Holy Roman emperor Henry VI. In several letters, the captive Richard's mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, exhorted Pope Celestine III to intercede on her son's behalf. The specific topics on which she drew were ancient concepts within the topic of honestas, or virtue, and, more specifically, justice as one of the virtues. Justice occupied a preeminent place among the other virtues in medieval thought, and topics related to justice, as a species of honestas, were traditionally regarded as proper for deliberative argumentation. Eleanor's letters set forth an argumentative schema regarding the nature of justice, asserting that it possesses an anatomy of subordinate parts that include friendship, pity, and the body politic of the kingdom. Her appeals illustrate the significance of ancient virtue theory in medieval political persuasion as an inheritance of Ciceronian thought, the place of virtue in geopolitical civic persuasion in her day, and how women implemented and conceived of social justice from classical rhetorical sources and employed them for civic ends.
