To date, no definition has been able to escape unscathed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving away from debates about definitions, \u003cem\u003eVirtue Epistemology\u003c\/em\u003e shows what conditions are essential for knowledge and applies this account to different domains. It proposes that agents must be motivated correctly to acquire knowledge, even in the case of perception. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Napier examines closely the empirical research in cognitive science and moral psychology to build an account of knowledge wherein an agent must perform acts of virtue in order to get knowledge. In so doing, Napier provides answers to two key questions: 'what is knowledge?' and 'how do we get it?' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Napier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826497942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826497949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/13\/2009 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 9","brand":"Stephen Napier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517502828799,"sku":"9780826497949","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34f9ab0a-5f81-439e-a541-c69ec2d24df7.jpg?v=1778732022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virtue-epistemology-stephen-napier-9780826497949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
