Produktbeschreibung
This book reconceives virtue epistemology in light of the conviction that we are essentially social creatures. Green's account is based on the extended credit view, which conceives of knowledge as an achievement and broadens that focus to include team achievements in addition to individual ones. He argues that this view does a better job than alternatives of answering the many conceptual and empirical challenges for virtue epistemology that have been based on cases of testimony. The view also allows for a nuanced interaction with situationist psychology, dual processing models in cognitive science, and the extended mind literature in philosophy of mind.
Autorenporträt
Raised in Surrey, England Adam's early career in banking in no way prepared him for a later career as a US-based actor and award-winning film producer. From Los Angeles and back to London, he founded kids' tech startup Cleverworld, creating and producing fun interactive early educational apps, before turning his attentions to his daughter's childhood cat Six. When not travelling and dreaming up new adventures for Six, he can be found swimming and enjoying sports.
