| description | The scope of the study is the virtue of magnanimity that reveals not only a moral but also an epistemological dimension in the context of the history of philosophy. The paper analyzes the actualization of this virtue in the works of Aristotle, Descartes and Nietzsche, where it appears at the intersection of ethics and theory of knowledge, characterizing the pursuit of truth both in science and philosophy. The relevance of such a study of the concept of magnanimity correlates with the subjects and methods of contemporary virtue epistemology that emphasizes the role of values and virtues in cognition, as well as with the modern philosophical reflection of the foundations of science in general. |
