Abstract
This chapter begins by laying out a theory of competence in general and its application to epistemology. This is meant to round out the concept of virtue epistemology, which must essentially rely on a theory of competence. A competence is a disposition (ability) to succeed when one tries. When complete, they have a triple-S constitution. These three sorts of dispositions are as follows: the innermost (seat), the inner (seat + shape), and the complete (seat + shape + situation). However, not every disposition to succeed when one tries constitutes a competence, although every competence will be constituted by a disposition to succeed when the agent is within certain ranges of shape and situation.
