Her primary areas of research are epistemology, ethics, and virtue theory. She has published articles on the intellectual virtues in \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Papers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy Compass\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTeaching Philosophy;\u003c\/i\u003e and is co-editor of \u003ci\u003ePerspectives on the Philosophy of William P. Alston\u003c\/i\u003e. She is currently writing a book on the moral and intellectual virtues.  Virtues and vices matter in both ethics and epistemology - it \u003ci\u003ematters\u003c\/i\u003e whether an agent has moral and intellectual virtues or moral and intellectual vices. In fact, this is the veritable rallying cry of both virtue ethics and virtue epistemology. But do analogies between virtues and vices across these two philosophical fields even succeed? If so, how much do virtues and vices really matter? Are they - or are exemplars - at the foundation of moral and epistemic theory? And if virtues and vices \u003ci\u003edo\u003c\/i\u003e matter, what exactly are they?  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVirtue and Vice, Moral and Epistemic\u003c\/i\u003e presents a series of thought provoking essays that delve deeply into the role of virtue and vice that cut across the fields of ethics and epistemology. Featuring the voices of both virtue ethicists and epistemologists, readings offer competing accounts of the foundation of moral theory while exploring the connections between virtue and emotion, and virtue and contextualism. Other essays analyze universal love, open-mindedness, epistemic malevolence, and epistemic self-indulgence. Written by leading or upcoming figures in ethics and epistemology this book offers provocative insights into the most cutting edge thinking concerning the application of the intellect into virtue theory - an important development in the contemporary analytic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990455730405,"sku":"NP9781444335620","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781444335620.jpg?v=1761787901","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/virtue-and-vice-moral-and-epistemic-isbn-9781444335620","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
