Introducing “Virtues in Practice: A Comparative Study of Science and Music”

Are you interested in exploring the fascinating connection between science and music? If so, then “Virtues in Practice: A Comparative Study of Science and Music” is the book for you. Authored by Timothy Reilly, Darcia Narvaez, Mark Graves, Keke Kaikhosroshvili, and Stefanie Israel de Souza, this interdisciplinary work delves into the understanding of intellectual and moral virtues within these two distinct practices. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and empirical research, the authors provide a comprehensive exploration of how scientists and musicians perceive and embody virtues in their respective fields.

The book tackles the profound question of how virtues, both intellectual and moral, manifest in the worlds of science and music. It acknowledges that virtues are not isolated qualities but rather are deeply embedded within the traditions and practices of these disciplines. By adopting a MacIntyrean perspective, the authors highlight the importance of understanding the virtues within the context of specific traditions and practices.

Examining the Connection between Virtues and Traditions

One of the main themes explored in “Virtues in Practice” is the relationship between virtues and traditions. The authors argue that traditions play a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing virtues, providing the foundation for individuals to develop and embody these qualities in their work. Through engaging with philosophical and psychological theories of virtue, the book offers insights into how scientists and musicians understand and cultivate intellectual and moral virtues within their respective fields.

By presenting empirical evidence, the authors provide tangible proof of the integral role of traditions and practices in nurturing virtues. This evidence supports the claim that virtues cannot be fully understood in isolation from the specific contexts in which they are practiced. Through analyzing the perspectives and experiences of scientists and musicians, “Virtues in Practice” contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between traditions, practices, and virtues.

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Studying Virtues
