This collection of 19 chapters, all appearing in print here for the
first time and written by an international team of established and
emerging scholars, explores the place of intellectual virtues and
vices in a social world. Relevant virtues include open-mindedness,
curiosity, intellectual courage, diligence in inquiry, and the
like. Relevant vices include dogmatism, need for immediate
certainty, and gullibility and the like. The chapters are divided
into four key sections: Foundational Issues; Individual Virtues;
Collective Virtues; and Methods and Measurements. And the chapters
explore the most salient questions in this areas of research,
including: How are individual intellectual virtues and vices
affected by their social contexts? Does being in touch with other
open-minded people make us more open-minded? Conversely, does
connection to other dogmatic people make us more dogmatic? Can
groups possess virtues and vices distinct from those of their
members? For instance, could a group of dogmatic individuals
operate in an open-minded way despite the vices of its members?
Each chapter receives commentary from two other authors in the
volume, and each original author then replies to these
commentaries. Together, the authors form part of a collective
conversation about how we can know about what we know. In so doing,
they not only theorize but enact social virtue epistemology.
