Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Thoughtlessness -- The insufficiency of calculative deliberation -- Witnessing exemplary action -- Rethinking practical wisdom -- Being a friend to oneself: the reflective endorsement of virtue.
Summary This work examines thoughtlessness and seeks to illuminate the necessity and extent that reflection is involved in becoming practically wise within an Aristotelian virtue ethical framework. Derived from an Arendtian reading of Kantian aesthetic judgment, an account of thinking and judging is offered to supplement traditional accounts of practical wisdom.
