Reading As A Philosophical Practice by Robert Piercey
This work argues that reading is a philosophical practice that shapes who we are by cultivating intellectual and moral virtues such as attention, humility, courage, and generosity. Drawing on hermeneutic and virtue-ethical traditions, it proposes treating texts as interlocutors rather than information sources, and offers practical strategies for slow, dialogical engagement. Through reflective examples, it shows how encounters with challenging works can transform self-understanding, expand moral imagination, and improve our participation in shared inquiry and public discourse.
