The Ethics of Epistemic Responsibility and the Normativity of Logic

At first sight, ethics and logic are often perceived as isolated disciplines, but some researchers note methodological and normative similarities between them. As we consider what logic is based on in its action, we conclude that it acquires its normativity in society, where the ethical component plays a significant role. In this context, the very mechanism of including ethics in purely rational logical procedures of human thinking is also important. I intend to defend the thesis that a human being is responsible both for the choice of guidelines for his or her reasoning and for the consequences that this choice entails. Besides, in the context of the epistemic responsibility of the agent of reasoning, I will highlight the controversy around the ethics of belief that came into the Russian epistemological discourse not so long ago.
