Paperback. Condition: Good. Nathan L. King's The Excellent Mind considers the importance of the intellectual virtues: the character traits of excellent thinkers. He explains what it means to have an excellent mind: one that is curious, careful, self-reliant, humble, honest, persevering, courageous, open, firm, and wise. Drawing from recent literature in philosophy and psychology, he considers what these virtues are like in practice, why they are important, and how we grow in them. King also argues that despite their label, these virtues are not just for intellectuals: they are for everyone. He shows how intellectual virtues are critical to living everyday life, in areas as diverse as personal relationships, responsible citizenship, civil discourse, personal success, and education. Filled with vivid examples and relevant applications, The Excellent Mind will serve as an engaging introduction to the intellectual virtues for students and anyone interested in the topic. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The virtues of endurance -- perseverance, patience, resilience, and constancy -- are central to success in any goal-oriented challenging activity that a person undertakes. Gaining a rich understanding of these virtues requires insights from multiple areas of study, but most treatments of the virtues of endurance to date have remained within narrow disciplinary boundaries. No longer. In this volume, philosophers, psychologists, legal scholars, educational theorists, medical practitioners, military theorists, and theologians have labored together to advance our understanding of endurance. Written with scholars in mind, this volume is nevertheless accessible to students and general readers.This volume is divided into two sections: Explorations and Applications. The first section considers the nature of a given virtue, while the second section showcases the relevance of endurance to important areas of our lives. Taken as a whole, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of this ever-important virtue, offering both a theoretical and practical roadmap to working through challenging activities.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Qué es lo que hace que una educación sea buena? ¿Qué se necesita para considerarse bien educado? El conocimiento, sin duda. Pero los conocimientos se olvidan fácilmente, y los de hoy pueden quedar obsoletos mañana. Las habilidades, especialmente el pensamiento crítico, también son cruciales. Pero sin la motivación adecuada, los graduados pueden no poner en práctica sus habilidades. En este libro, el autor sostiene que las virtudes intelectuales (rasgos como la curiosidad, la humildad intelectual, la honestidad, el valor intelectual y la apertura mental) son fundamentales para cualquier educación digna de ese nombre y para funcionar bien en la vida cotidiana. Este libro presenta a los lectores las virtudes intelectuales: qué son, por qué son importantes y cómo podemos crecer en ellas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
