Abstract
A welcome development in recent epistemology has been the growing interest in epistemic vices, the negative character traits that stand opposed to what Linda Zagzebski named the virtues of the mind. The complexity of personal epistemic dispositions is the topic of study of character epistemology. Epistemic vices have complex developmental histories. Many sources and conditions play a role in feeding their development and entrenchment within our epistemic character. A critical character epistemologist wants to explore the specific patterns of susceptibility to epistemic vices for differently situated groups of epistemic agents. To summarise: current work in vice epistemology offers powerful ways of thinking in systematic detail about the variety of failings of epistemic character to which human beings are susceptible.
