One of the central questions about the moral virtues that preoccupied Socrates concerned the unity of the virtues. Are the several virtues aspects of a single virtue or are they entirely distinct and independent? Socrates himself apparently accepted the doctrine of the unity of the virtues. In this essay I shall explore the tenability of an analogous doctrine for the intellectual, or epistemic, virtues, namely, that the various epistemic virtues are all variations on, or permutations of, a single theme or motif. I am not confident I can make this doctrine stick in full and complete detail, but I want to explore how close one can come in defending its plausibility.
