traditional knowledge is understood as a process of interaction between subject and object, which helps to determine the content of reality - that is, the fact that there might have been and will be.In the culture of the symbol of this process can be considered a figure of the prophet Tiresias "Odyssey."In a study of this kind of human activity there is one of the basic antinomies: How do the sensible and rational knowledge.Nowhere is this problem expressed by Nietzsche: he opposed such phenomena as tragic and Socratic, Apollonian and Dionysian.It also appears the confrontation and Lev Shestov as the contrast between "Athens" and "Jerusalem."The whole history of philosophy is permeated by the opposition between discursive and intuitive, and attempts to combine them into something whole.
Language philosophy in most cases, is multilayered, and therefore in terms of "sense" and "rational" knowledge can select multiple values.Under a ratio refers to logical thinking, associated with certain forms, pre-defined formulations (concepts, judgments, definitions, axioms).This kind of thinking is often the analytical, it uses inductive and deductive methods.Typically, rational view of understanding the world is committed to natural and social ordering, the way he prefers conceptual and discursive understanding, and his main achievement is a set of techniques and forms, which are the principles of scientific research.It is true that modern philosophy, such as Feyerabend says that there are several types of rationality.
sensory knowledge and its forms, such as sensation, perception and representation, especially combined with the irrational phenomenon.One of its components is irrational, which in turn is divided into the instinctive reaction of the world (it can also be made the subject of research) and some dark and vapid, mind antagonistic impulses.Next is the unconscious (subconscious) is a special realm, different from the phenomena exposed comprehension.His first divined the existence of Leibniz, who called it "dark perceptions."Next to this phenomenon turned the German Romantics, guessing it is a natural source of creativity.According to Freud, this is the mighty, the opposing force of consciousness that you can try to control with the help of psychoanalysis.
Sensual and rational knowledge, analysis and understanding related to the study of such interesting concepts as intuitive.There are many types of intuition, which can approach for logical thinking, or does not come into contact with him.There is a rational heuristics - it is a kind of knowledge, when the truth is revealed to the subject, not gradually, but suddenly, simultaneously.The method of knowledge that occurs abruptly as it is called intellectual intuition and scientific insight (insight) - is part of a rational approach to the problem.In fact, this is another form of rational knowledge.By intuition understand and artistic model of understanding the world, other than scientific, and a way of being human, and even a certain kind of values (in terms of Husserl and Scheler, they identified not through the mind, but in the acts of love or hate, for example, idiosyncrasy).
Depending on the time, place, action, particular philosopher, is there are different theories, justifying it as a correlate sensory and rational knowledge.However, in general, they can be divided into three groups - 1) the concept of who believe that these two types of mental activity completely negate each other;2) theory, not only opposed, but the delimiting their scope, and 3) teaching, trying to find a single source for both forms of knowledge, as well as options for their interaction and integration.This division is also characteristic of the philosophy of culture, where we are seeing as opposed to both the guise of life and spirit, experience and reflection, and the Eidos logo, contemplation and notions of the heart and the head, and trying to bring them to a common denominator.
