"Is intelligence a virtue?" That is the most valuable question that I got from reading this article. My youngest daughter asked her sisters the other day "What does virtuous mean?" Now it is time to dig deeper.
I thought the examples given of literary figures in history were interesting and would like to examine some of them more closely. I am not very well read so some of the characters Erskine referred to were not familiar to me. The reading of this article will be helpful to me and my family as we discuss characters from literature, movies or maybe even the news. I will pose the same question to them. "Do we have a moral obligation to be intelligent?"
