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\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46863683584151,"sku":"9780262517805","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262517805.webp?v=1769971338","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/virtue-epistemology-contemporary-readings-9780262517805","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
