 Contemporary virtue epistemology, conceived as such and as a distinctive movement within epistemology, began with Ernest Sosa’s work in the early 1980s (see the papers collected in Sosa 1991). Sosa applied his “virtue perspectivism” to adjudicate disputes in contemporary epistemology, such as the disputes between foundationalists and coherentists, and between internalists and externalists (for a review, see Turri 2013). Other important early contributions were by Lorraine Code (1987), James Montmarquet (1993), Jonathan Kvanvig (1992), and Linda Zagzebski (1996), who argued that Sosa’s approach, while promising, did not go far enough in identifying the central role of virtues, such as responsibility or conscientiousness, the social and developmental bases of virtues, or important relationships between intellectual and ethical virtues. Other approaches attempt to blend features of Sosa’s initial approach and these alternatives (e.g., Greco 1993). It has also been argued that early versions of reliabilism are best interpreted as a form of VE (Kvanvig 1992).
