The central role of the virtue of compassion in the shaping of the professional character of healthcare providers is a well-emphasized fact. On the other hand, the utmost obligation of physicians is to alleviate or eliminate human suffering. Traditionally, according to the Aristotelian understanding of virtues and virtue ethics, human virtues have been associated with masculinity. In recent dec...

My plan in this paper is to defend a 'cognitive requirement' on intellectual virtue.

A central topic of discussion has been whether studies showing that situations can strongly influence our responses provide evidence against the existence of virtues (as a kind of stable and robust disposition). In this revi...

Modestly laboring behind the scenes, ligaments are often overlooked or disdained while attention focuses on muscles, vessels, and nerves, the dynamic actors on center stage. Yet this attitude held by surgeons and anatomists alike is both naive and wrong. Ligaments are often more important than muscles, and in some places where muscles are given the credit, unassuming ligaments carry the entire ...
