Political philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Political and economic relations were drastically changed by these views as the guild was subordinated to free trade, and Roman Catholic dominance of theology was increasingly challenged by Protestant churches subordinate to each nation-state and which preached in the "vulgar" or native language of each region. Roman political philosophy was influenced by the Stoics, and the Roman statesman Cicero wrote on political philosophy. Two key aspects are the political economy by which property rights are defined and access to capital is regulated, and the rules of truth and evidence that determine judgements in the law. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Political_philosophy   (2013 words)

Virtue Epistemology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Code also claims that the structure of the intellectual virtues and their role in the intellectual life are such that an adequate conception of these things is unlikely to be achieved via the standard methodologies of contemporary epistemology. This means that one’s belief must be produced by one or more of one’s intellectual virtues. Virtue reliabilists are concerned with traits that are a critical means to intellectual well-being or “flourishing” and virtue responsibilists with traits that are both a means to and are partly constitutive of intellectual flourishing. www.iep.utm.edu /v/VirtueEp.htm   (6365 words)

SUMMA THEOLOGICA: How many capital vices there are, and which are they? Virtue and vice do not originate in the same way: since virtue is caused by the subordination of the appetite to reason, or to the immutable good, which is God, whereas vice arises from the appetite for mutable good. Accordingly therefore, those vices are called capital, whose ends have certain fundamental reasons for moving the appetite; and it is in respect of these fundamental reasons that the capital vices are differentiated. Although anger is not a principal passion, yet it has a distinct place among the capital vices, because it implies a special kind of movement in the appetite, in so far as recrimination against another's good has the aspect of a virtuous good, i.e. www.newadvent.org /summa/208404.htm   (1488 words)

social capital: civic community, organization and education Those concerned with social capital have looked to the density of social networks that people are involved in; the extent to which they are engaged with others in informal, social activities; and their membership of groups and associations (see la via associative). In that sense social capital is closely related to what some have called “civic virtue.” The difference is that “social capital” calls attention to the fact that civic virtue is most powerful when embedded in a sense network of reciprocal social relations. Useful critical exploration of the notion of social capital and its theoretical origins and the extent to which 'it avoids a proper confrontation with political economy and, as a result of its origins and evolution, has become chaotic'. www.infed.org /biblio/social_capital.htm   (1488 words)

Seven Knightly Virtues - Todays Code of Chivalry - Scott Farrell There were, however, several common themes found in these lists of knightly virtues. Each of these concepts is important in itself, and every one of these virtues is an admirable quality, but when all of them blend together in one person, we discover the value, and power, of chivalry today. Many people — from successful knights to contemplative philosophers — compiled lists of virtuous qualities, called the “knightly virtues,” which they felt defined chivalry. www.chivalrytoday.com /Farrell/Knightly-Virtues.html   (1488 words)

On the Chivalric Virtues--Count Sir Garick von Kopke, SCA Thus I say that the Knightly Virtues be these: Prowess, Courage, Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Faith, Courtesy, and Franchise. In the medieval view, courage was one of the most important knightly virtues, due perhaps to the difficulty of being courageous in the face of death. L'Ordene de Chevalrie mentions the Knightly virtue of courtesy in connection with honesty and an attribute more commonly associated with courtesy, kindness, while discussing the symbolism of the bath in the Knighting ceremony. www.chronique.com /Library/Chivalry/garick1.htm   (1488 words)

Knight These virtues became more idealized as time went on. When the church deemed knights too bloodthirsty and unruly, they intervened and began stressing the importance of virtues until the church became an integrated part of knighthood and chivalry.) The virtues included: Changes in military tactics, such as the successful use of the longbow against the French cavalry in the battles of Crécy and Agincourt lessened the importance of the cavalry. www.worldwidewebfind.com /encyclopedia/en/wikipedia/k/kn/knight.html   (1488 words)

The Catholic Encyclopedia - Cardinal Virtues In this pair of cardinal virtues is exhibited a not very precise portion of Greek psychology, which the Scholastics have perpetuated in the division of appetites as concupiscible and irascible, the latter member having for its characteristic that it must seek its purpose by an arduous endeavour against obstacles. Within limits the cardinal virtues may be said to be a scientifically arranged group, helpful to clearness of aim for a man who is struggling after well-ordered conduct in a disordered world, which is not prudent, just, brave, temperate. The cardinal virtues unite the intellectual element and the affective. jcsm.org /StudyCenter/Catholic_Encyclopedia/03343a.htm   (1435 words)

CARDINAL VIRTUES - LoveToKnow Article on CARDINAL VIRTUES Further, against the Platonic list it may be urged (I) that it is arbitrary, and (2) that the several virtues are not specifically distinct, that the basis of the division is unsound, and that there is overlapping. By the Roman Catholic Church these virtues are regarded as natural as opposed to the theological virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity. It is noticeable that the virtue of Benevolence, which has played so important a part in Christian ethics and in modern altruistic and sociological theories, is omitted by the ancients. www.1911encyclopedia.org /C/CA/CARDINAL_VIRTUES.htm   (224 words)

James V. Schall, S.J. Medieval political philosophy must be understood in the light of philosophy itself and in the preliminary light of political philosophy. Political "science" asks about the nature of human happiness in general and, separately, about human happiness in so far as man is a mortal during his time on earth. Once metaphysics and theology were adequate for the first questions, then politics (and economics) could be left to work themselves out for the betterment of the life of man mortal, that is, while he is still on earth. www.ewtn.com /library/THEOLOGY/FR90104.htm   (3083 words)

The Hive The virtues of politics are not completely eclipsed in public discourse - it is a commonplace that the only solution to the problems in the north of Ireland, or in Palestine, is a political one (not military, not leaving it to the gangsters, not community). Liz Frazer argued that we ought to recognise and affirm the political virtues in the discourse of politics. These are the political virtues, the virtues appropriate to us in our political roles. users.ox.ac.uk /~thehive/resources/political-virtues   (1595 words)

The Contrary, Heavenly, and Cardinal Virtues The Contrary Virtues were derived from the Psychomachia ("Battle for the Soul"), an epic poem written by Prudentius (c.

Bushido: The Seven Virtues Virtue under Confucius is based upon harmony with others and a recognition of the honest reality that eventually (say in old age) one will come under the power of others (say one's children). As a virtue, courage is covered extensively in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, its vice of deficiency being cowardice, and its vice of excess being boldness. As we rarely use the term, the virtue of rectitude is somewhat difficult to grasp for western minds. arvigarus.bravehost.com /bushido_002.htm   (2218 words)

Social Capital and Civil Society - Francis Fukuyama - Prepared for delivery at the IMF Conference on Second Generation Reforms The market capitalization of any company represents the sum of both tangible and intangible assets; among the latter is, presumably, the social capital embodied in the firm's workers and management. Social capital is important to the efficient functioning of modern economies, and is the sine qua non of stable liberal democracy. Perhaps the reason that that social capital seems less obviously a social good than physical or human capital is because it tends to produce more in the way of negative externalities than either of the other two forms. www.imf.org /external/pubs/ft/seminar/1999/reforms/fukuyama.htm   (158 words)
