  Many strong accuracy accounts are called ‘egalitarian’ or ‘equitable’ views. These accounts make modesty a matter of a particular kind of correct belief. Drawing on Kantian ideas about the equal moral status of all rational agents, these views root modesty in a the accurate recognition of people’s equal moral status. So for Ben-Ze’ev (1993) modesty is a matter of knowledge of the equal moral worth of everyone and accurately seeing that particular good qualities do not affect this worth. Hare (1996, 240) distinguishes one’s “moral worth as a person” (a static and invariable value) from one’s “worth as a moral person” (a value that can be affected by good qualities) and sees modesty as rooted in a recognition of the former.
