DESCRIPTION:<p>Aristotle says at Book 1\, Chapter 4 of the&nbsp\;<em>Nicomachean Ethics&nbsp\;</em>that &ldquo\;the adequately prepared student of lectures in ethics must be someone who has been raised well in his habits.&rdquo\; This talk will explore just what Aristotle means in making this claim. Specifically\, we will explore Aristotle&rsquo\;s conception of the relationship between moral habituation and acquisition of practical wisdom. Insofar as he is committed to the idea that we must be &ldquo\;raised well&rdquo\;&mdash\;i.e. habituated well&mdash\;as a prerequisite to ethical theorizing\, we must wonder what the psychological mechanisms are by which the non-rational learning that is habituation can be foundational to the very much<em>rational&nbsp\;</em>learning that is ethical theorizing. I will briefly explain Aristotle&rsquo\;s theory of moral habituation and his theory of ethical epistemology and then delve into the sticky question of where the two meet.</p>
