An account of modesty should explain both what modesty really is, that is what character trait the term 'modesty' actually refers to, and why this traits is ( or is thought to be) a good thing, a virtue. Julia Driver's account stumbles over the first issue, mine over the second. Driver's revised "underestimation " account of modesty, which calls CM, is this: " An agent is modest if he is disposed to underestimate self-worth to some limited extent, even in spite of the available evidence" (p.830). This trait is valuable, she writes, because " a person who is modest stops problems from arising in social situations" (p.828). A modest person "seem less likely to provoke an envy response in others" (p.828 ) for instance.
