On prudent love and imprudent lovelessness

James A Marcum

pp. 137-178

In the first section of the chapter, I examine the notion of the compound virtue of prudent love, derived from the transformation of competence and care, and I discuss its relationship to the caring cycle and the care-competence cycle. I then follow with a section on the notion of the compound vice, imprudent lovelessness, derived from the transformation of incompetence and carelessness, which identifies and defines an unvirtuous physician, as well as its relationship to the uncaring cycle and the carelessness-incompetence cycle.
