  Ignorance accounts explain modesty by appeal to states that are epistemically defective in some way; the modest person either lacks certain beliefs about their own goodness or has false beliefs that involve underrating themselves. Accuracy accounts, on the other hand, aim to remove any tension between epistemic and moral virtue and so explain modesty via beliefs that are epistemically good. On these views, modesty is at its heart about getting it right about one’s place in the world. Strong accuracy accounts make modesty incompatible with ignorance. For these views modesty is essentially about having accurate beliefs. Weak accuracy accounts deny that modesty requires an epistemic defect, but leave it open whether moral virtue is compatible with epistemic vices.
