It develops several different arguments for the paradoxical conclusion that virtue should not be taught, even when it can be taught. It also cites a dialogue in Plato's Meno, in which the character named Meno evidently presupposes that virtue should be acquired, if only it can be. The chapter examines the extent to which the viability of Meno's presupposition is affected by the specific modalities of character education on how virtue is to be acquired, rather than if it can be acquired. It distinguishes between two different models of virtue acquisition: the ham-fisted Aristotelian model and the Fosbury model.","PeriodicalId":110277,"journal":{"name":"Emotion and Virtue","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125959231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides an adequate background on emotion and arguments on the integral view of the role of emotion in virtue. It also analyzes the psychology of emotion, a judicious smattering of philosophy that harness Christine Tappolet's overview. The chapter investigates the biological hypothesis on the function of emotion in solving the philosopher's frame problem, meaning the problem of how to make use of just what is needed from the stupendous quantity of knowledge and how not to retrieve what is not needed. It narrates a story from Daniel Dennett about a robot that is informed a bomb is set to go off in its vicinity that resents a moral that pure reason is not sufficient to solve de Sousa's problem.","PeriodicalId":110277,"journal":{"name":"Emotion and Virtue","volume":"2018 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128732348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that the combination of cleverness, a morally rectified sympathy trait, and supplementary moral knowledge suffices in principle to explain an agent's ability to pass the central test of virtue (CTV) for compassion.
