Description
Stratified Virtue Epistemology offers a detailed philosophical defense of virtue epistemology by introducing a stratified framework that distinguishes between different levels at which intellectual virtues operate. J. Adam Carter explores how virtues function not just in individual belief formation, but across broader epistemic systems and social contexts.
The work addresses key challenges to traditional virtue epistemology while proposing innovative solutions through stratification. Carter examines how virtues like intellectual honesty, open-mindedness, and humility manifest at personal, interpersonal, and institutional levels. This multi-layered approach provides a more nuanced understanding of knowledge acquisition and justification than conventional accounts.
Part of the Elements in Epistemology series, this concise yet rigorous monograph is essential for epistemologists, philosophers of knowledge, and scholars interested in contemporary virtue theory and its applications to understanding what makes knowledge possible.
