Recently, there are many attempts to apply the concept of virtue used in virtue ethics to epistemology. These attempts opened the realm of virtue epistemology. Though many active attempts, however, it is pointed out that these applications are not possible, It means that virtue epistemology is impossible. First, because the forms of virtue ethics are so diverse that it is difficult to clarify the characteristics of virtue ethics. Second, the
acts, basic concept of virtue ethics, are inherently different from the beliefs, basic concept of epistemology. Acts are influenced by will or emotion, but beliefs are not influenced by them, and acts have voluntary characteristics, but beliefs are involuntary. Here, I have suggested that though there are varieties of forms of virtue ethics, but there is a way to clarify the form of virtue ethics so clearly that it reveals its
characteristics. And if we look closely at beliefs, we have confirmed that the beliefs are influenced by will and emotion as well as the acts, and therefore beliefs have voluntary characteristics. It is confirmed, therefore, that beliefs also have a voluntary characteristic, especially in Descartes and Spinoza s explanation of the unvoluntary characteristics of the will and beliefs.
