Key Points

The analysis reveals that a lack of self-attributed epistemic courage may conflict with integrity.
Epistemic courage, with its ties to integrity, shows the necessity of a meliorist viewpoint over a perfectionist approach.
The articulation of this problem relies heavily on the interplay between courage, integrity, and scepticism.
Emphasizing a meliorist interpretation allows for a more flexible understanding of integrity in relation to epistemic courage.

Implication

This analysis explores integrity's role alongside epistemic courage and scepticism, suggesting meliorist definitions may resolve conflicts.

Abstract

Does our inability to always self–attribute epistemic courage when we manifest it (a limited kind of reflective scepticism about epistemic courage) conflict with the virtue of integrity? I articulate this problem, and argue that it can be eschewed if we construe integrity along meliorist rather than perfectionist lines.
