摘要
理智德性是德性知识论的核心概念。对这一概念有两种竞争性的解读:能力型德性和品质型德性。前者认为理智德性是稳定的、可靠的认知能力,例如知觉、记忆和推理等;后者视理智德性为后天的品质特性,如坚韧、理智勇气和思想开明等。究竟哪种解读揭示了理智德性的本性,学界存在较大争议。其实,两种解读本质上并不冲突,它们实际上分别揭示了统一的理智德性的两个不同方面。当前争论的根源在于未能恰当地区分两种德性在认知过程中体现的不同价值:能力型德性更适合解释低阶知识,品质型德性更适合解释高阶知识。两种德性之间不是对立关系,而是兼容互补的协作关系。
As the core concept of virtue epistemology, intellectual virtue has two competitive interpretations-competence-virtue and character-virtue. The former argues that intellectual virtue is a stable and reliable cognitive ability such as perception, memory and reasoning; the latter regards it as acquired traits of character such as tenacity, intellectual courage and open-mindedness. There exists a perennial controversy in the academic community on which reveals the nature of intellectual virtue. In fact, the two explanations do not conflict in essence, which explore respectively two aspects of the unified intellectual virtue. The current debate is largely due to the fact that the different functions of the two types of intellectual virtue are not identified in the process of cognition, i. e. , competence- virtue explains low-level knowledge better while character-virtue is better suited for explaining high-level knowledge. They are synergically related and compatible with each other rather than in a life-or-death struggle.
