Brian NOWACKI, Mark Connatural knowledge is knowledge readily acquired by beings possessing a certain nature. For instance, dogs have knowledge of a scent-world exceeding that of human beings, not because humans lack noses, but because dogs are by nature better suited to process olfaction. As various ethicists have argued, possession of the virtues involves a sort of connatural knowing. Here, connatural knowledge emerges as a knowledge by inclination which systematically tracks the specific moral interests we humans possess precisely because we are human. In this essay we explore the importance of connaturality for moral education. 2012-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soss_research/1215 info:doi/10.1007/978-94-007-5261-0_3 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-5261-0_3 Research Collection School of Social Sciences eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Eastern philosophy Education Ethics St. Thomas Thomas Aquinas Oriental civilization Philosophy |

Connatural knowledge is knowledge readily acquired by beings possessing a certain nature. For instance, dogs have knowledge of a scent-world exceeding that of human beings, not because humans lack noses, but because dogs are by nature better suited to process olfaction. As various ethicists have argued, possession of the virtues involves a sort of connatural knowing. Here, connatural knowledge emerges as a knowledge by inclination which systematically tracks the specific moral interests we humans possess precisely because we are human. In this essay we explore the importance of connaturality for moral education. |
