Virtue epistemology begins with the premise that epistemology is a normative discipline and, accordingly, a central task of epistemology is to explain the sort of normativity that knowledge, justified belief, and the like involve. A second premise is that a focus on the intellectual virtues (individual intellectual excellences) is essential to carrying out this central task. This collection offers some of the most influential and agenda-setting work at the heart of virtue epistemology's research program. Taken together, they will equip the reader to enter the ongoing discussion and debate in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selections range from seminal contributions by Ernest Sosa, who introduced the notion of intellectual virtue into the contemporary literature, to a study of “epistemic justice” that draws on \u003ci\u003eTo Kill a Mockingbird\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Talented Mr. Ripley.\u003c\/i\u003e The readings include overviews of the field that also serve to advance the discussion; investigations of the nature of knowledge; reflections on the value of knowledge; examinations of credit and luck; and explorations of future directions for research.\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Greco is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Chair in Philosophy and Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Turri is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Greco is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Chair in Philosophy and Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Turri is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Greco is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Chair in Philosophy and Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233822716133,"sku":"NP9780262517805","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262517805.jpg?v=1767743480","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/virtue-epistemology-isbn-9780262517805","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
