Daniel Greco

Daniel Greco is a philosopher known for his contributions to virtue epistemology, which examines knowledge through the lens of intellectual virtues—traits like open-mindedness, intellectual courage, and diligence. He argues that true knowledge requires not just cognitive abilities but also the right character traits that enable individuals to pursue understanding effectively. Greco emphasizes that these virtues help individuals navigate uncertainties and make reliable judgments. By focusing on the role of the thinker’s character, he seeks to deepen our understanding of what it means to know something and how personal qualities influence knowledge acquisition.
