The Importance of Developing Excellent Humans: Education, Virtue, and ChatGPT
The release of ChatGPT has stirred considerable concern and discussion in the field of education. Educators have expressed both frustration and optimism regarding the technology. In this article I argue that when educators consider potential uses of ChatGPT in the classroom, they should use ChatGPT in ways that do not undermine the formation of intellectual virtues. I begin by briefly reviewing a classical virtue theory, particularly as expressed by Aristotle and Aquinas. Then I define and discuss two intellectual virtues, open-mindedness and intellectual humility, explaining why these virtues are important for human flourishing. In short, these virtues contribute to the contemplation of God. Next, I explore the nature and purpose of ChatGPT. Once I have outlined what ChatGPT is, I consider potential uses of ChatGPT in light of the goals of developing open-mindedness and intellectual humility. In short, I defend the view that appropriate uses of ChatGPT must not replace students exercising the mental processes necessary for developing intellectual virtues. I conclude by noting how this discussion of ChatGPT implies that content mastery alone is not a sufficient condition for determining whether adequate education has taken place.
