Virtue Epistemology and the Analysis of Knowledge - Toward a Non-Reductive Model (Hardcover)

This book centers on two dominant trends within contemporary
epistemology: first, the dissatisfaction with the project of
analyzing knowledge in terms of necessary and jointly sufficient
conditions and, second, the surging popularity of virtue-theoretic
approaches to knowledge. Church argues that the Gettier Problem,
the primary reason for abandoning the reductive analysis project,
cannot viably be solved, and that prominent approaches to virtue
epistemology fail to solve the Gettier Problem precisely along the
lines his diagnosis predicts. Such an outcome motivates Church to
explore a better way forward: non-reductive virtue epistemology. In
so doing, he makes room for virtue epistemologies that are not only
able to endure what he sees as inevitable developments in
21st-century epistemology, but also able to contribute positively
to debates and discussions across the discipline and beyond.
