“…On the relation of practical wisdom in Aristotle to other kinds of knowledge and action, see (Cohoe 2022;Kraut 2022;Lee and Long 2007;Renero 2013;Tarantino 2022). 7 The way in which nous grasps universals and particulars is controversial (see Renero 2013 for discussion).…”

Thoughtlessness as an Intellectual Vice in Kierkegaard and Aristotle

I examine the Kierkegaardian intellectual vice of thoughtlessness (Tankeløshed) and its opposite, the Aristotelian intellectual virtue of phronēsis, or practical wisdom. I argue that thoughtlessness is primarily an intellectual problem rather than a moral one. My emphasis on intellectual virtue in Kierkegaard contrasts with more typical characterizations of passion, will, and action as Kierkegaard’s main concerns and reliance on intellect as an obstacle to be overcome. Drawing on Aristotle’s account of phronēsis as the intellectual virtue related to action, I show that Kierkegaard offers a rich account of practical wisdom and a critique of its opposite, thoughtlessness. I conclude that, since there are different kinds of wisdom, Kierkegaard can say that faith is not a form of knowledge in the sense of epistēmē, or scientific knowledge, while preserving a central role for intellect in the task and life of faith.
