A more reliable route to ethical transformation might be to rationally (re)form student "passions." Virtue is a kind of middle way between the mostly discursive practices taught in typical philosophical ethics classes and the "reason is a slave of the passions' view advocated by Hume and more recently by Haidt. Our philosophy curricula should be altered to open up students to a transformation of their *embodied* habit formations. This is sometimes called "philosophy as a way of life," in the west; "mind training" in the Buddhist philosophical tradition. Such a formation has an intellectual dimension - o a key component of which is to become consciously aware of one's assumptions and automatic modes of operating. This training though must be supplemented by the cultivation of affective and perceptual sensitivities and motivational states. Philosopher who behave unethically despite their training in ethics also need this deeper mind/body training.
