What is virtue recognition theory? This article is a brief introduction of virtue theory, recently increasingly popular among analytic philosophers. Here, I believe that defining the characteristics of virtue epistemology is to pay attention to intellectual virtue and vice rather than to belief evaluation. What constitutes such a focus?

Reliability of virtues is most similar to proper functionalism. did The reliability of virtue is a closer competitor.
