Should we take virtuous acts as evaluatively and conceptually primary?
Just as virtue ethics considers what a good person ought to look like, so responsibilist virtue epistemology investigates what a good inquirer should be. Central to both fields, though, is the role that character traits play. In this paper, I critically respond to Müller’s claim that we should instead give acts, and not character traits, this evaluative and conceptual primacy in virtue responsibilism.
