Analysis of "the Vittues of Ignorance" from Julia Driver’s Viewpoint
Mas’ud Sadeghi
Abstract:   (1620 Views)
With an emphasis on Julia Driver’s ideas about virtue, this paper intends to illustrate an approach on virtues that despite of accepting general frameworks, it attempts to weaken the genuine role of knowledge in Aristotelian ethics and defines and justifies some important virtues based on ignorance and unawareness. The virtues in his view include modesty, trust, forgiveness, spontaneous courage, and scoreless kindness. The necessity to accept the virtues of ignorance is acceptance of an infra-ethical approach which does not consider good intentions necessary for achieving virtues. However, to limit the domain of the study without criticizing this presupposition, only the analysis of virtues of ignorance will be discussed.
Keywords: Julia Driver, Ethics, Virtues of ignorance, Modesty, Trust, Forgiveness, Spontaneous Courage.
