introductory ethics courses i tried something new that i first heard about through my friend russell disilvestro i suspect this assignment will sound strange to many philosophy professors i asked the students to complete a project the character experiment in which they would pick 3 virtues to attempt to cultivate over the course of the semester the purpose of our examination is not to know what virtue is but to become good since otherwise our inquiry would be of no benefit to us aristotle prior to describing and giving them the assignment we read greg bassham s virtue centered approaches to education prospects and pitfalls virtues in action michael w austin ed palgrave macmillan 2013 pp 11 22 this set the stage and offered a rationale for completing this type of experiment recognizing some of its potential strengths and weaknesses we also read james gould becoming good the role of spiritual practice philosophical practice 1 no 3 2005 135 47 to offer a framework and some practical suggestions and we discussed the relevance of the experiment to the theories and issues we studied over the course of the semester read more posted by mike austin at 6 26 am 5 comments email this
