The Virtues of Virtue for Inquiry, Argumentation and Education – Pace Paglieri

Abstract

We argue that Paglieri's presentation, Argumentative virtues: Back to basics (ECA 2022), involved a misunderstanding both of the nature of virtue and of the nature and goals of critical thinking education. In contrast, we argue for the centrality of virtues in argumentation and for educating critical thinkers using the Inquiry Approach to teaching critical thinking.
