The Social Contexts of Intellectual Virtue

More about the book

Focusing on the social nature of humans, the book redefines virtue epistemology through the extended credit view, which emphasizes knowledge as both individual and team achievements. This perspective effectively addresses various challenges to virtue epistemology, particularly those related to testimony. Additionally, it engages with situationist psychology, cognitive science's dual processing models, and the extended mind concept in philosophy, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding knowledge in a social context.
