Resumo: The main aim of this paper is to reflect on the scope of moral knowledge from the virtue ethics model, which is based on the idea of virtuous character and human flourishing, and this approach seems very promising to respond to the skeptical argument that says that moral disagreement is an irrefutable proof of the impossibility of knowledge in the field of ethics. To this end, I begin by problematizing moral knowledge, with a specific consideration of ethical reasoning. Subsequently, I investigate the role of the epistemic virtues of practical wisdom, humility, and integrity for the acquisition of moral knowledge. Finally, I postulate that a virtue ethics that rely on certain epistemic virtues can explain adequately the moral knowledge and respond more effectively to skepticism.

Para este fim, inicio problematizando o conhecimento moral, com a consideração específica do raciocínio ético. Posteriormente, investigo o papel das virtudes epistêmicas de sabedoria prática, humildade e integridade para a aquisição do conhecimento moral. Por fim, postulo que a ética das virtudes, que conta com certas virtudes epistêmicas, pode explicar adequadamente o conhecimento moral e responder de forma mais eficiente ao ceticismo.Revista KriterionRevista KriterionKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaRevista Kriterion2021-10-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/35061Revista Kriterion; Vol. 62 No. 149 (2021)Revista Kriterion; Vol. 62 Núm. 149 (2021)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 62 No 149 (2021)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; V. 62 N. 149 (2021)Revista Kriterion; v. 62 n. 149 (2021)1981-53360100-512Xreponame:Kriterion (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/35061/28813Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Kriterioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoitinho, Denis 2021-10-26T19:59:10Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/35061Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterionPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/oairevistakriterion@gmail.com1981-53360100-512Xopendoar:2024-01-24T12:41:29.557778Kriterion (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
