epistemic virtue

📖 Definitions

"An attractive development in contemporary philosophy of science is an increased interest in the significance to scientific enquiry of various virtues – excellent character traits, attitudes, sensibilities, and ways of thinking. Popular candidates include curiosity, open-mindedness, and the procedural epistemic virtues, like diligence and conscientiousness (Paternotte and Ivanova 2017)." (Kidd, 2020, p.1)
