When it comes to intellectual virtue, our society is in an extreme state of crisis. Dishonesty, arrogance, cheating, laziness, cowardice--such vices are rampant, even among the world's most prominent leaders.
Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all.
In Intellectual Development: Intellectual Character Development, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. Virtue is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor.
Dow's work is a timely and thoughtful work for parents and pastors, teachers and students--anyone who thinks education is more about the quality of character than about the quality of facts or the acquirement of skills.
