In Defence of Virtue Epistemology (original) (raw)

Abstract

In a number of recent papers Duncan Pritchard argues that virtue epistemology's central ability conditionone knows that p if and only if one has attained cognitive success (true belief) because of the exercise of intellectual ability-is neither necessary nor sufficient for knowledge. This paper discusses and dismisses a number of responses to Pritchard's objections and develops a new way of defending virtue epistemology against them.
