Samuel Schindler''s book revisits this classical question in the philosophy of science and develops new answers to it. Theoretical virtues matter not only for choosing theories ''to work with'', but also for what we are justified in believing: only if the theories we possess are good ones (qua virtues) can we be confident that our theories'' claims about nature are actually correct. Recent debate.
