Sumario:The book review discusses "The Science of Virtue: A Framework for Research" by Blaine J. Fowers, Nathan D. Leonhardt, and Bradford Cokelet, which aims to provide a unifying framework for the emerging science of virtues. The authors emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration between social scientists and philosophers, summarizing empirical research on virtues that has been overlooked in philosophical circles. However, the review raises concerns about the book's philosophical rigor, clarity in defining the STRIVE-4 model, and addressing theoretical objections, suggesting that further refinement is needed to strengthen the interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and psychology.
