Epistemic Security Requirements for Modern Civilization

Modernity is often referred to as the post-truth era. The development and dissemination of digital technology products, along with positive consequences for many areas of public life, makes us pay attention to a wide range of new-born problems: technological threats, the spread of fake news, an abundance of information flows, etc., which have become risks that cannot be ignored as well as in political, as in the social spheres and daily life. The concept of the post-truth era has become a nominal word to indicate that the knowledge itself (in the philosophical sense of the word) is under threat. The proposed study is devoted to defining the concept of epistemic security and the conditions required to ensure it.
