Knowledge, Belief, and Character

Readings in Contemporary Virtue Epistemology
Herausgeber: Axtell, Guy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a unique collection of new and recently-published articles which debate the merits of virtue-theoretic approaches to the core epistemological issues of knowledge and justified belief. The readings all contribute to our understanding of the relative importance, for a theory of justified belief, of the reliability of our cognitive faculties and of the individuals responsibility in gathering and weighing evidence. Highlights of the readings include direct exchanges between leading exponents of this approach and their critics.
