Virtue Epistemology
Knowledge is an achievement attained through the exercise of epistemic competence.
What it claims
Virtue epistemology shifts the primary unit of evaluation from individual beliefs to the epistemic agent and their competences. What this position denies is the idea that justification is determined solely by the relation between belief and evidence at a time. The central argument is the achievement argument.
