| description | The skill model of ethical expertise holds that becoming an ethical expert is (like) becoming an expert in a practical skill.

In this thesis, I critique a prominent contemporary account of the skill model of virtue by attending to the phenomenology of the learning process involved in acquiring a practical skill. Situating this critique within a Merleau-Pontyian framework, I then develop a two-tiered account of ‘awareness’ which I use to explicate novel views of the epistemology of both virtue and the ancient Chinese ethical ideal wu-wei. |
