The article analyses the conflicting views of reliabilism and evidentialism on the following question – What is the leading condition in ascribing justification to beliefs: reliability or evaluation through evidence. The evidentialist view is defended by arguments, derived from the linguistic practices of ascribing justification in complex conditions. The generality problem is interpreted as an exemplification of the complexity of cognitive situations and it is argued that complexity requires reference to the mental states as a means for ascribing justification. Reliability is also recognized as a factor for ascribing justification to some beliefs when it serves as a type of evidence.

Transformation of society inevitably leads to transformation of culture. The relevance of studying the reproductive cultural transformations of modern Russian society is increasing due to the obvious presence of gender crisis at the macrosocial and microsocial levels. Gender stereotyping in procreation is increasingly in confl ict with the variety of masculine and feminine reproductive scenarios, the demarcation of norms and pathologies of reproductive behavior. The gender approach in studying of reproductive behavior in modern Russian men and women in this article is aimed to typologize and analyze masculine and feminine reproductive scenarios – from the most conformal (pronatalistic) to oppositional (antinatalistic). The rejection of the totally naturalistic approach to the interpretation of motherhood and fatherhood in favor of analyzing the sociocultural components of the currently relevant feminine and masculine reproductive strategies is much more responsive to the social needs and the demands of modern humanitarian science.

- Starting from a discussion of Sylvain Auroux's new book (L'origine des langues... 2007), the paper develops a critique of the anti-naturalistic approach to the study of language. The rejection of the quest for language origin as a theory unsusceptible to scientific empirical treatment is an aspect of the idealistic consequences of anti-naturalist positions. A survey is presented of recent literature on the subject. In our opinion, evolutionary theories, revisited from a cognitive perspective, have radically changed the terms of the debate and made naturalism a viable alternative. Keywords: Evolutionism, FOXP2, Innateness, Linguistic variation, Nature-nurture debate, Origin of language.
