Conclusion: A Radically Unorthodox Epistemology
摘要
In this concluding chapter, we examine the neo-Stoic virtue epistemology developed in light of its central theoretical aims. First, I argue that neo-Stoic virtue epistemology has no problem with the central worries for the major accounts of epistemic value –i.e. the Trivial Truths Problem and VERITY—and can easily address the Externalism and Epistemic Luck Worry leveled at extant theories of epistemic virtue. Next, I argue that neo-Stoic virtue epistemology satisfies the various theoretical desiderata from Sect. 3.2.3 . This implies that neo-Stoic virtue epistemology clearly and decisively rejects both EVE and ESE orthodoxy. Thus, neo-Stoic virtue epistemology provides us with the radical epistemological heresy we have sought.
