4#atheists #atheism #skeptics #skepticism #virtueethics #philosophy
In the fourth, and penultimate, part of this series of videos exploring the question of whether virtue is knowledge, we look at some arguments against the idea that virtue is knowledge. Drawing on the works of Driver and Winter, we look at a claim that there are virtues that require an epistemic defect in order to be a virtue.
Then drawing on the work of Scott and Weiss, we explore the Meno further. Looking at two arguments from Socrates discussing the idea that virtue is knowledge, and also that virtue is a kind of true opinion.
