Adam Green

Opis

This book reconceives virtue epistemology in light of the conviction that we are essentially social creatures. Green’s account is based on the extended credit view, which conceives of knowledge as an achievement and broadens that focus to include team achievements in addition to individual ones.

Recenzje

"Adam Green thinks that taking a more social perspective will produce a richer and more plausible version of virtue epistemology—one that can avoid various objections to credit views of knowledge and that can deepen our understanding of both epistemic injustice and the problem of disagreement ... It is an excellent, interesting, and fruitful defense of a credit view of knowledge as well as a valuable contribution to our understanding of how social factors affect knowledge." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
