A great presentation of the role that intellectual virtues play in helping us live well, both in forming our beliefs and deciding what to do. King synthesizes the best current research on intellectual virtues in an easy to follow and reader friendly way. He makes good use of the idea of virtue as consisting in a mean between extremes without being too rigid about it. Helpful for all of us thinking through how to use our minds well.
