Abstract
The paper analyses and contrasts instrumental and epistemic rationality, with the main focus on the content of the notions of epistemic rationality and epistemic normativity and their correlation. It shows the differences between the requirements of normativity and rationality in the process of epistemic justification. The author lists the factors, which contributed to the development of «virtue epistemology», namely the difficulties of dealing with the «Gettier problem» and internal problems with the classical definition of knowledge.
