`The Difference between Teaching and Habituation in Plato and
Aristotle`
Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
One of Plato and Aristotle’s insights is that moral education should
develop both reason and the emotions. But how should it do this? Should
there be a single type of education that simultaneously develops both
reason and the emotions or should these be developed by separate
processes? If separate, how should they relate to each other? Our
answers to these questions will be tightly connected to our
understanding of moral psychology: what is the relation between reason,
desires, and emotions, and what role do they play in a good life? I
argue that Plato and Aristotle have interesting, compelling, and yet
importantly different answers to these questions. It is frequently
thought that their views on moral education are very similar, perhaps
with different emphases. I argue that they differ on some key issues. We
can put the basic issue this way: are there fundamentally different
methods for acquiring different virtues, or is the acquisition of virtue
a more holistic process, in which the same sort of training is involved
in the acquisition of the virtues? Aristotle thinks that there are two
fundamentally different processes for different types of virtues.
Habituation is the process for developing the non-rational part of our
soul and, in doing so, one develops the character virtues. Teaching, by
contrast, properly develops the rational part of the soul, leading to
the intellectual virtues. Plato, by contrast, doesn’t think that there
are fundamentally distinct processes for developing the different parts
of the soul. Instead, in Plato’s Republic moral education sometimes
involves the same activity developing different parts of the soul and
sometimes involves very different activities developing the very same
part of the soul. Typically the goal of this web of activities is to
bring the different parts of the soul into harmony, not to separately
develop the different parts. And Plato doesn’t contrast teaching with
habituation at all. He gives habituation a different role from
Aristotle, an interesting development found in his Phaedo, Republic, and
Laws.

physics, linguistics and the social sciences. Beyond a few core courses
and a joint four-semester seminar series, providing a common background
to all students, we offer the following concentrations:
-Logic and the Philosophy of Mathematics
-Philosophy and Foundations of Physics
-Logic in Linguistics
-Formal Models in the Social Sciences
We encourage the application of both Hungarian and foreign students who
hold a BA/BSc degree either in philosophy or in some other field related

*Second call for papers*
*Socio-cultural factors in style *
The Research Group in Stylistics at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
(__stylistics.elte.hu_ <http://www.stylistics.elte.hu/>_) is inviting
linguists to the international conference 'Socio-cultural factors in
style', due to take place in Budapest, 5-6. 02. 2014.
The conference is aimed primarily at functional cognitive linguists with
an interest in stylistics. Its central topic is the functions of
socio-cultural factors in style. Functional cognitive linguistics
produces complex usage-based descriptions, foregrounding the motivations
behind specific construals of meaning in intersubjective usage events.
Fundamental factors of a functionally oriented description of dynamic
semantics and grammar include discourse, speech situation,
conceptualizer perspective and the dynamic relation between schema and
instantiation. The present conference focuses on the stylistic
components of linguistic variability.
From a functional cognitive perspective, style is an aspect of
discursive meaning derived from particular modes of construal and
symbolization. Style can be studied from multiple vantage points and at
varying levels of abstraction. Besides the stylistic potential of
language and the stylistic structure of particular discourses or
discourse types, socio-cultural factors can be explored with a view to
the more or less conventionalized social functions of linguistic
expressions in a speech community. Looked at in this way, style is a
function of the norms of socially based interpersonal relations, and it
is attributed to linguistic expressions in specific usage events.
Socio-cultural factors of style include the domains of attitude,
situation, value (value saturation vs. deprivation), time (archaism vs.
neologism), and language varieties.
The conference focuses on three large, closely related issues:
1) the functional cognitive theory and methodology of the study of style,
2) the general features of socio-cultural factors in the functional
system of style; linguistic variability and stylistic variables based on
socio-cultural factors,
3) socio-cultural variables of style as instantiated in particular
discourses.
The conference aims to reinterpret basic issues and raise new questions
in stylistic research, with special regard to the following:
1) developing an integrated theory and methodology for studying the
cognitive and socio-cultural underpinnings of language, to be applied to
stylistic research,
2) exploring the implications of cognitive semantics and pragmatics for
the study of style,
3) harmonizing the style-related concepts and results of
sociolinguistics and cognitive linguistics,
4) investigating the language- and culture-specific features of style in
the theoretical and methodological framework of cognitive linguistics.
The language of the conference is English.Section papers will be
allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Willie van Peer
Gábor Tolcsvai Nagy
The deadline for submission of abstracts (in English; max one page
including data and references) is December 12, 2013. Please submit your
