“…One of the exciting research directions of the formation, content, cognitive nature and sociocultural functionalisation of knowledge is related to studying this concept through the prism of the ideals and norms of science [14,15]. For now, talking about the "post-truth era of knowledge" raises exciting questions [16,18]. Against this background, the philosophical understanding of the pluralistic meaning of knowledge is essential against cultural and social, economic, cultural, informational, and technological globalisation [11].…”

“…In later works, M. McCormick approaches the problem from an interesting cognitive standpoint. He writes, "Truth and knowledge are valuable because they contribute to individual and collective flourishing" [18]. To put it another way, according to the author, scientific knowledge becomes valid when it serves the individual and collective development in the status of truth.…”

In the article, through the prism of the interdisciplinary methodological approach, the content of knowledge in digital culture conditions and the epistemological peculiarities of the formation of new knowledge are investigated. For this purpose, knowledge is viewed as the result of intellectual activity in the cognitive-social-cultural environment.The article shows that knowledge is transforming into "multi-knowledge" at the modern stage. It can be conceived as a processual gestalt with a multifractal character. Multifractality is used because the viewed object consists of a synthesis of different fractals (self-similarities). Therefore, this article considers knowledge a multifractal system (or network) of "fractal sub-knowledge". In that context, processual gestalt means that this multifractal system (or network) transforms from one phase to another, not fragmentarily, but entirely and whole. On this basis, the new multi-knowledge results from the creative transformation of the existing multi-knowledge as a multifractal unit due to the gestalt process.The following methodological principles are applied in the article: nonlinearity, intersubjectivity, emergent interface, and multifractality. It is accepted that there is a close relationship between them.Applying synergistic synthesis and comparative analysis methods within the logical framework of this methodological approach allowed us to obtain concrete results.

Is Radical Doubt Morally Wrong?

Is radical skepticism ethically problematic? This paper argues that it is. Radical skepticism’s strong regulation of our doxastic economy results in us having to forego doxastic commitments that we owe to others. Whatever skepticism’s epistemic defects, it is ethically defective. In turn, I defend Moralism, the view that the kind of extreme doubt characteristic of radical skepticism is a serious moral and eudaimonic weakness of radical skeptical epistemology. Whether this means that skepticism is false or incorrect, however, is a further claim that Moralists may or may not accept. I distinguish between an encroachment and abrogation version of the view, and show how each one bears on radical skepticism. In either case, Moralism makes our beliefs less vulnerable to radical revision. The paper concludes with some exploratory reflections on whether the argument can be extended to show that radical skepticism is politically problematic, even risking injustice.
