Virtue Epistemology

Virtue Epistemology is a philosophical approach that treats knowledge as a result of intellectual virtue or ability. Instead of focusing mainly on the evidence or arguments that justify beliefs, it emphasizes the importance of the qualities of the person who is knowing or investigating. The idea is, if you're a diligent, careful, open-minded thinker, you'll be more likely to obtain true knowledge.
