北京大学哲学系、北京大学外国哲学研究所、北京大学分析哲学研究中心特邀
美国福坦莫大学哲学系（Philosophy Department, Fordham University (Bronx, NY, USA)）知名知识论学者Professor Stephen R. Grimm
于2017年05月09日（星期二）10:00-12:00主讲：
“Understanding as an Intellectual Virtue”（“作为理智德性的立理解”）
此次学术报告的宣讲和讨论地点为：北京大学人文学苑3号院3109室
报告内容摘要：
In this talk I elucidate various ways in which understanding can be seen as an excellence of the mind or intellectual virtue. Along the way, I take up the neglected issue of what it might mean to be an “understanding person”—by which I mean not a person who understands a number of things about the natural world, but a person who steers clear of things like judgmentalism in her evaluation of other people, and thus is better able to take up different perspectives and view them with a sympathetic eye. Being an understanding person in this sense seems to be a character-level virtue that interestingly combines moral and epistemic elements; it also seems to be a virtue particularly needed in our age of deep political division, where it is commonly said that failures of mutual understanding are partly to blame for this problem.
