We?ve seen the movies about heroes who display courage, loyalty and coolness under fire. But what about somebody who sits in front of a keyboard all day? Is it possible to display and cultivate character if you are just an information age office clerk, alone with a memo or your puter? Of course it is. Even if you are alone in your office, you are thinking. Thinking well under an era of information may be a different sort of moral challenge than fighting well under a hail of bullets, but it?s a character challenge noheless. In their book, Intellectual Virtues, Robert C. Roberts of Baylor University and W. Jay Wood of Wheaton College list some of the Intellectual virtues. We can all grade ourselves on how good we are at each of them. First, there is courage. The obvious form of intellectual courage is the willingness to hold unpopular views. But the slighter form is knowing how much risk to take in jumping to conclusions. The impulsive thinker takes a few pieces of information and leaps to some faraway theory. The perfectionist, on the other hand, is unwilling to put anything out there except under ideal conditions for fear that he could be wrong. Intellectual courage is selfregulation, Roberts and Wood argue, knowing when to be daring and when to be cautious. The philosopher Thomas Kuhn pointed out that scientists often simply ignore facts that don?t fit with their existing paradigms (范式 ), but an intellectually courageous person is willing to look at things that are surprisingly hard to look at. Second, there is firmness. You don?t want to be a person who abandons his beliefs at the slightest sign of opposition. On the other hand, you don?t want to hold rigidly to a belief against all evidence. The median point between flaccidity (軟弱 ) and rigidity is the virtue of firmness. The firm believer can build a steady worldview on solid materials but still delight in new information. He can gracefully adjust the strength of his belief to the strength of the evidence. Firmness is a quality of mental alertness. Third, there is modesty, which is not letting your own desire for status get in the way of accuracy. The modest person fights against pride and selfimportance. He?s not writing those sentences people write to make themselves seem smart。 he?s not thinking of himself much at all. The modest researcher doesn?t bee arrogant toward his subject, assuming he has mastered it. Such a person is delighted to learn from anyone at any stage in life. Fourth, there is autonomy. You don?t want to be a person who blindly adopts whatever opinion your teacher or some author gives you. On the other hand, you don?t want to reject all guidance from people who know what they are talking about. Autonomy is the median of knowing when to bow to authority and when not to, when to follow a role model and when not to, when to stick to tradition and when not to. Finally, there is generosity. This virtue starts with the willingness to share knowledge and give others credit. But it also means hearing others as they would like to be heard, looking for what each person has to teach and not looking to jump on others for their errors. Montaigne once wrote that “We can be knowledgeable with other men?s knowledge, but we can?t be wise with other men?s wisdom.” That?s because wisdom isn?t a body of information. It?s the moral quality of knowing how to handle your own limitations. Character tests are existing everywhere even in modern everyday life. It?s possible to be heroic if you?re just sitting alone in your office. It just doesn?t make for a good movie.
