Virtue Rationality and Religious Beliefs: with an Emphasis on Theory of Sosa

Virtue epistemology is a new recent approach to epistemology that gives to epistemic or intellectual virtues an important role. Having many similaritywith Externalist Reformed Epistemology، Virtue based view can be used as a new model in religious epistemology. We can define religious virtue and religious perspective that produce true apt beliefs. These presuppositions lead to a new concept of rationality that can defend the rationality of religious beliefs. Therefore we can hold the possibility of religious knowledge against skepticism and its rationality against atheism.
