Moral and Epistemic Virtues

Whilst virtue ethics has long been a focus for discussion in moral philosophy, it is only recently that an analogue virtue-based theory has come to the fore in the field of epistemology. This volume brings together papers by some of the leading figures working on virtue-theoretic accounts in both ethics and epistemology, including Guy Axtell, Julia Driver, Antony Duff, Miranda Fricker, John Greco, Christopher Hookway, Michael Slote, Lawrence Solum and Linda Zagzebski. It is the first volume to combine papers on virtue ethics and virtue epistemology.

Michael Brady is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Stirling. He has published widely in ethics, including articles in Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Journal of Value Inquiry and Philosophical Quarterly.

Duncan Pritchard is Lecturer in Philosophy and Leverhulme Trust Special Research Fellow at the University of Stirling. He has published widely in epistemology, including articles in American Philosophical Quarterly, Synthese and International Journal of Philosophical Studies.
