Dear all, you are cordially invited to a talk in the series "work-in-progress" (WiP) of the research group on Didactics of Philosophy/Ethics: Hana Jermakova, University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republik, will talk about her research project on: “The Concept of Intellectual Autonomy in Education“ (abstract below). The talk will take place next Monday (11.11.2024) at NIG, Hörsaal 3F, 4:45-6:15 pm. Everybody is very welcome! Best, Donata (Romizi) PS: Sorry for crossposting. --------------------------- Abstract: In this talk, I will deal with the concept of philosophizing (philosophical thinking – as it is used in czech didactics of philosophy) in education, but using a framework rooted in virtue epistemology. Rather than contrasting it with comeptency-based model (dominant in czech educational system), I try to add a dimension by emphasizing the question of „who is a good thinker/knower?“ I stress the obvious advantages of the intellectual virtues approach (social and contextual character of virtues, motivational aspect – the role of epistemic emotions, and also the intuitive language of this framework). By combining a didactical/normative perspective on thinking and the epistemological focus on intellectual character, I aim to bring a new perspective for teachers and learners in the czech educational context. ---------------------------- Ass.-Prof. Donata Romizi, PhD Department of Philosophy University of Vienna Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG), Zi.
