The current coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) has faced many scientific disciplines, including philosophy, with various theoretical and practical challenges. In this paper, we will deal with three philosophical issues related to the pandemic and specific approaches to them. The first part of the article will be dedicated to the analysis of the term "expert", whose significance was highlighted at the outbreak of the pandemic. By examining Plato's ancient and Goldman's modern understanding of this concept, we will try to emphasize the importance of expert opinion in crisis circumstances. In the second part of the paper, we will deal with the issue of public mistrust of scientific authorities as well as the problem of the flourishing of so-called "conspiracy theories". Goldenberg's and Cassam's approach to this topic will help us see where the source of these problems is and what potentially harmful consequences they can produce. In the third part of the text, we will list some of the mai...n moral dilemmas we have faced since the beginning of the pandemic. Special attention will be paid to Kant's moral philosophy in which we can find advice on how an individual should act in ordinary life situations in times of crisis.
