Intellectual Virtues: An Essay in Regulative Epistemology
This is an ambitious book, in two ways. First, it advocates a drastic transformation of contemporary epistemology’s scope and method. Second, it exemplifies a new way of doing epistemology, plumbing the depths of epistemic psychology by subtly characterizing the nature of, and interrelations among, a host of intellectual traits.
