Hain IV	Practically Virtuous: Instrumental Practical Reason and the Virtues	2009		.txt	text/plain	271	9	37	I work to show this by first confronting with one another four recent accounts of practical reason (those of Simon Blackburn, Candace Vogler, David Gauthier, and Philippa Foot) in order to develop a powerful account of instrumental practical reasoning as an irreducibly social practice. After showing how this Thomistic account of instrumental practical reasoning both accommodates the insights gained from the contemporary accounts and includes a clear and persuasive grounding for practical deliberation as a social activity, I argue that the resulting picture of practical reason gives us very good reason to be virtuous.	cache/bg257d29c08.txt	txt/bg257d29c08.txt
