This is a very impressive development of an epistemological theory that is modeled on a virtue-oriented ethical theory. There have been several presentations of virtue-based epistemologies lately, but none of them matches the present work in systematic development, scope, and power. It will move this approach to epistemology onto center stage, and it will become the focus for discussions of virtue epistemology. (William P. Alston, Syracuse University)
