Index

"Anyone interested in developments in epistemology over the past 50
years cannot ignore Sosa's work, and the discussions here
make possible a fuller appreciation and understanding of
Sosa's achievements and place in recent epistemology."
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"This is an excellent collection of essays. It illuminates
not only Sosa's philosophical work, but also a large part of
contemporary epistemology."

Anil Gupta, University of
Pittsburgh

"In conclusion, it seems that Sosa's virtue epistemology offers
a promising line in solving some perennial problems. It overcomes
some important deficiences of its predecessors, and at the same
time integrates some advantages of the old paradigms." Marina
Bakalova, Central European University
