Abstract

Recently, Linda Zagzebski developed an account of
cognizers as agents. "An effective agent is reliably
successful in reaching her ends and she does so through
the exercise of her own power� (Zagzebski 2001, 151).
Knowledge is thought of as the result of virtuous agency.
Knowledge is a state of true belief arising out of acts of
intellectual virtue.
