 An example of conventional VE is Ernest Sosa’s (1991: section IV) attempt to define knowledge as true belief held “out of intellectual virtue”, or to settle the dispute among internalists and externalists about epistemic justification (Sosa 2003: ch. 9), providing detailed definitions and carefully trying to disarm counterexamples. Another prime example of conventional VE is Linda Zagzebski’s (1996: part III) definition of knowledge and attempted resolution of the Gettier problem.
