Taking into account recent developments in the psychology of curiosity, as well as research on the nature and motivation of scientific inquiry, Miščević identifies curiosity as a positive and vital character trait. Key topics covered include: · Curiosity as a subject in the history of philosophy · Curiosity as a possible ethical virtue · The importance of curiosity about oneself · Whether curiosity is good in itself or only as a means to an end (e.g. in the pursuit of truth). The book begins with a brief historical overview, before turning to the nature of curiosity from both a psychological and philosophical viewpoint. Curiosity is revealed as a crucial instrument in the advancement of science and wisdom, as well as within the wider picture of meaningful human life. Miščević skilfully defends the idea that curiosity motivates and organises our cognitive abilities, playing the central role in our cognitive lives.Palgrave Innovations in Philosophy,2946-286XKnowledge, Theory ofSciencePhilosophyPhilosophy of mindEpistemologyPhilosophy of SciencePhilosophy of MindKnowledge, Theory of.SciencePhilosophy.Philosophy of mind.Epistemology.Philosophy of Science.Philosophy of Mind.153.8121.6Miščević Nenad691993MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910863161503321Curiosity as an epistemic virtue2126329UNINA00858nam 2200289 450 99665657200331620250701115602.020250507d1982----km y0itay5003 baitaITy 00 y<<La>> cooperazione nella produzione agricolaCorrado Giacomini, Alessandro PaccianiRomaConedit1982102 p.21 cm<<I>> quaderni dell'Inecoop2001<<I>> quaderni dell'InecoopCooperative agricoleBNCF334.60945GIACOMINI,Corrado71267PACCIANI,Alessandro71325ITcbaREICAT996656572003316XVI.7.D. 36FBUOXVI.7.D.BKFBUOCooperazione nella produzione agricola4373543UNISA
