This superb volume is a who's who of virtue epistemology. Virtually every major contributor to the field, including its founding fathers and mothers, has contributed an essay, and the standard of the contributions is as high as one would expect. In terms of its range, depth and originality there is no better book on the subject. Highly recommended. -Quassim Cassam, University of Warwick By philosophy's standards, virtue epistemology is young. It is also highly promising, both as a way of thinking about traditional epistemological challenges and as a way to lead epistemologists along new pathways. So this fine book is timely, an excellent resource for understanding a potentially significant element within future epistemological research. The chapters on the wider world of the intellect and socially engaged action, and those on individual epistemic virtues, are especially distinctive and welcome. Stephen Hetherington, University of New South Wales Battaly's volume is a masterful scholarly accomplishment, a joy to read, and an inspiring collection of essays that will spark new debates in virtue epistemology. The volume contains brilliantly edited, cutting-edge scholarship with exceptional depth and breadth. It is a must-read for those interested in normative and practical issues in epistemology, and for those interested in epistemic issues in ethics, political philosophy, and practical and applied philosophy. - Jose Medina, Northwestern University
