Shadur, I. M. About Rationality of Cogitation

Abstract: The author raises a question about the grounds for considering this or that philosopher’s creation to be close to rationalism. The author suggests that in order to answer this question, we should follow the same gnoseolological and methodological values that fokrmed the basis of classical philosophical rationalism. Moreover, the author’s research is based on the opinion that the subject of cogitation is experience in a wide meaning of the word and this is why the empiric projection of cogitation makes an attempt to find the criteria for fulfilling these values. Based on that, the author forms the definition of experience and defines the basic values of rationalism and studies possible ways of relations between cogitation and experience from the point of view of logics and their contents. As a result of the study, the author makes certain assumptions about the relation between the structure of the thought and the structure of experience.
