Virtue Epistemology
“Knowing well may depend on how you inquire, not only on one isolated belief.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Virtue epistemology explains knowledge or justification through reliable faculties and intellectual traits such as openness, care, and honesty. Its strands differ over which element is fundamental.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
Two people get the answer right; only one checked the source, sought objections, and corrected an initial reading.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
Moral niceness does not make beliefs true, and intellectual virtue does not guarantee infallibility.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Assess both the conclusion and the capacities and habits that produced it.
