چکیده
this paper compares epistemic virtue from the viewpoints of zagzebski and mulla sadra, aiming to determine the extent to which their viewpoints on epistemic virtue are similar. zagzebski, the contemporary philosopher, considers epistemic virtue as the basis on which knowledge is interpreted. she sees epistemic virtue as a requirement for achieving knowledge. mulla sadra, the founder of transcendent philosophy, considers knowledge as an outcome of intellectual virtues without which there would be no knowledge. the role these two philosophers ascribe to moral and intellectual virtues and vices in forming the identity makes it possible to compare their interpretation of epistemic virtues. as a virtue responsibilist, zagzebski sees epistemic virtue as a character trait and explains its nature by its different components. sadra as well, sees epistemic virtue as a character trait. evidence shows that sadra’s definition of intellectual virtues is similar to that given by zagzebski in many respects. examining zagzebski’s viewpoint on epistemic virtue, this paper will discuss sadra’s viewpoint on epistemic virtue as well as its contribution to knowledge. in conclusion the similarities of the two viewpoints will be delineated.
