This collection investigates the intersection of virtue ethics and virtue epistemology to determine how these two philosophical fields can inform and strengthen one another. Editors Michael R. DePaul and Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski curate a series of original essays from leading scholars in both disciplines. The text argues that by bridging the gap between moral character and intellectual inquiry, philosophers can develop a more robust understanding of both ethical behavior and the nature of knowledge.

Experts identify this volume as a foundational text for scholars seeking to understand the synthesis of virtue ethics and epistemology. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for an audience of professional philosophers and graduate students.
