claimConventional virtue epistemology (VE) utilizes the resources of virtue epistemology to address standard questions in contemporary Anglophone epistemology, such as providing analyses or definitions of knowledge and justification, solving puzzles like the Gettier problem and the lottery problem, constructing counterexamples, and confronting the skeptic.
claimVirtue Epistemology solves the Gettier problem by asserting that knowledge requires an agent to believe the truth because of their intellectual virtues, whereas Gettier subjects do not believe the truth because of their virtues.
perspectiveCritics argue that the Virtue Epistemology solution to the Gettier problem is uninformative because there is a lack of adequate understanding regarding what it means to believe 'because of' or 'out of' virtue.
