Abstract

In this article, I explore the views of Ernest Sosa, a living analytic philosopher who developed a virtue epistemology out of the contemporary virtue ethics. Virtue theory in ethics is personbased rather than act-based; and similarly virtue theory in epistemology is person-based rather than belief/proposition-based. In this way, Sosa who has defended person-based theory of justification with the aid of intellectual virtue, developed a theory that can be an alternative to foundationalism, coherentism and post-Gettier problems. The theory is a refined version of reliabilism and its roots can be traced back to Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes and Reid in classical epistemology and it also basically depends on epistemology of Alvin Goldman in contemporary epistemology. One of the most important features of this epistemology is refrain from dichotomies such as foundationalism/coherentism and internalism/externalism and try to surpass polarization by reconciling them. Finally, virtue epistemology of Sosa defends epistemology as a normative discipline against Quineist radical naturalized epistemology.

Özet

ÖzBu makalede çağdaş erdem etiğinden hareketle bir erdem epistemolojisi geliştiren yaşayan analitik felsefecilerden Ernest Sosa’nın görüşlerini inceliyorum. Etikteki erdem teorisi fiil-temelli değil kişi temellidir; benzer şekilde, epistemolojideki erdem teorisi de inanç/önerme temelli değil kişi temellidir. Entelektüel erdem kavramıyla kişi temelli gerekçelendirme teorisi savunan Sosa, bu yolla, temelciliğin, bağdaşımcılığın ve Gettier sonrası problemlerin alternatifi olabilecek bir teori geliştirmiştir. Kökleri klasik epistemolojide Aristoteles’te, Aquinas, Descartes ve Reid’de bulunabilecek, çağdaş epistemolojide ise temelde Alvin Goldman epistemolojisine dayanan bu teori güvenilirciliğin arıtılmış bir versiyonudur. Bu epistemolojisinin en temel özelliklerinden biri temelcilik/bağdaşımcılık, içselcilik/dışsalcılık gibi dikotomilerden kaçınması ve epistemolojideki kutuplaşmaları uzlaştırarak aşmaya çalışmasıdır. Son olarak, Sosa erdem epistemolojisi Quinecı radikal doğallaştırılmış epistemolojiye karşı epistemolojinin normatif bir disiplin olduğunu savunur.
