The present essay is aimed at illustrating just some aspects of the relationship between virtue, reason, experience and trust. First, it shows that trust generates virtuous actions as well as virtues. Then, it explains that the genesis of virtue and its apex imply trust. Then it argues that the intellectual virtue of phronesis supports practical reason in forming a virtuous experience and that ethical virtues support practical and speculative Reason. Finally, it shows that virtue generates experience and is generated by it.

Abstract
The present essay is aimed at illustrating just some aspects of the relationship between virtue, reason, experience and trust. First, it shows that trust generates virtuous actions as well as virtues. Then, it explains that the genesis of virtue and its apex imply trust. Then it argues that the intellectual virtue of phronesis supports practical reason in forming a virtuous experience and that ethical virtues support practical and speculative Reason. Finally, it shows that virtue generates experience and is generated by it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
