Virtue environmentalism: towards a robustly social virtue epistemology

  • Dominik Jarczewski

摘要

One common criticism of virtue epistemology is its perceived individualism. This paper aims to present a robustly social account of virtue epistemology, framed within the context of the epistemic social environment. To achieve this, it draws on key insights from feminist epistemology and vice epistemology, particularly the work of Johnson, Grasswick, and Kidd. It argues that we can socialize epistemic virtues by broadening our focus from individual epistemic goods to the wider variety of goods that improve our epistemic social environment. In that way, it makes place for reproductive epistemic goals, which have been largely neglected in existing literature. Moreover, it offers a new perspective on the ongoing debate concerning the relationship between epistemology and intellectual ethics.
