Description
The Science of Virtue: A Framework for Research by Blaine J. Fowers, Bradford Cokelet, and Nathan D. Leonhardt. This book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding virtue and moral development through the integration of psychological and philosophical research. The authors' unique 'STRIVE-4 Model' provides a unifying conceptual framework that can help put to rest traditional worries about moral science. By applying empirical methods to existing research, this book offers a cohesive approach to studying virtues in psychology, developmental psychology, moral philosophy, and character education. The book's interdisciplinary approach makes it an essential resource for researchers and students seeking to understand the importance of virtues empirically. It maps out relevant areas of study, including the problem of knowledge about character, and demonstrates the value of empirical research in this field.
