An epistemic virtue is a personal quality conducive to the
discovery of truth, the avoidance of error, or some other
intellectually valuable goal. Current work in epistemology is
increasingly value-driven, but this volume presents the first
collection of essays to explore whether virtue epistemology can
also be naturalistic, in the philosophical definition meaning
'methodologically continuous with science'. The essays examine the
empirical research in psychology on cognitive abilities and
personal dispositions, meta-epistemic semantic accounts of virtue
theoretic norms, the role of emotion in knowledge, 'ought-implies
can' constraints, empirically and metaphysically grounded accounts
of 'proper functioning', and even applied virtue epistemology in
relation to education. Naturalizing Epistemic Virtue addresses many
core issues in contemporary epistemology, presents new
opportunities for work on epistemic abilities, epistemic virtues
and cognitive character, and will be of great interest to those
studying virtue ethics and epistemology.
