OVERVIEW

The goal of this conference is to address several key questions at the intersection of ethics, epistemology, and virtue theory:

  1. What are the primary features of moral virtues (e.g., courage) and vices (e.g., cowardice)?
  2. What are the primary features of intellectual virtues (e.g., open-mindedness) and vices (e.g., dogmatism)? 
  3. How are the moral and intellectual virtues (or vices) related to one another? 
  4. Can one live a good life or attain knowledge without virtue? 
  5. How difficult is it to become virtuous or vicious?
