Emocje epistemiczne i normatywność albo o tym jak pokochać teorię znaczenia

The aim of this paper is to discuss the content and cognitive function of epistemic emotions such as feelings of correctness and incorrectness. I claim that a proper explanation of such feelings should take into consideration the non-metarepresentational, non-criterial, and non-discursive character of epistemic emotions. With reference to the issue of primitive normativity and rule-following, I argue that we can connect epistemic emotions with the problem of meaning and claim that a specific class of epistemic emotions, i.e. feelings of correctness and incorrectness, is a necessary condition of meaning.
