Os desafios da sorte epistêmica e uma possível solução por meio da epistemologia das virtudes

Abstract

Knowledge and luck seem to be two antagonist concepts, that is, to grant knowledge to someone, such cognitive success should exclude luck from their process. However, since Edmund Gettier's article "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" (1963), the spread of luck elements in knowledge acquisitions has been increasingly recognized until the point of generating skeptic conclusions in the epistemological field. The question, then, is how to resolve knowledge attribution together with factors of luck practically ubiquitous. So, I intend to cover two objectives: (i) I will show the extension in the debate of epistemic luck, that is, its ramifications, classifications, concepts and, some answers. After, (ii) I intend to argue about the advantages of approaching epistemic luck outside the field of propositions within the virtue epistemology focusing on other epistemics goods besides truth belief.
