On the word spokojnie ‛calmly’. Self-review

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article criticizes the theses of her earlier work on spokojnie ‛calmly’. The user of the word compares two disjunctive courses of things; each of them is accompanied by certain knowledge and certain ignorance, although the knowledge of the negative operand of the disjunction is prevailed by the knowledge of the positive operand; so the point is not in valuing (as it was presented in the earlier work on spokojnie), but in judging of the factors involved in the hypothetical result. The epistemic peace (calm) appears when the knowledge of the negative operand is prevailed by the knowledge of the positive operand which is directly marked by the right- -hand-argument open by spokojnie.
