Thought: A Journal of Philosophy. forthcomingLinda Zagzebski’s neo-Aristotelian regulative virtue epistemology holds that what one ought to do is what an epistemic exemplar would characteristically do. A common objection is that views of this kind fail to provide action-guidance for those who are not yet virtuous. Call this the action-guidance problem. In this paper, I consider the most obvious responses to the action-guidance problem, ultimately concluding that they are unable to withstand critical scrutiny.
