Epistemic Virtue and Doxastic Responsibility cover

Defending an original conception of our responsibility for belief and of the relation of such responsibility to moral justification for our actions, James Montmarquet advances a detailed account of certain traits of intellectual character-the epistemic virtues-and of their relation to the responsibility for one's beliefs.

. . . affords a timely and eminently readable discussion of the ethics of belief. -- John Heil, Davidson College
A good plausibility argument for doxatic responsibility. -- George S. Pappas, Ohio State University * Mind: A Quarterly Review of Philosophy *
This is a substantial contribution to the growing subfield of virtue epistemology. -- Robert Audi, University of Nebraska
