Summary/Abstract: This article has two parts: the one where I try to clarify the types of categories and concepts of knowledge and their relations, and the other where I try to determine the concept of „common sense knowledge” and that of „scientific knowledge” by referring to the "ways of rationalization" within Blaga’s “Experimentul și spiritul mathematic”. The novelty of the paper consists mainly in the recovery of these “ways of rationalization” as a constitutive, original and generally determining structure of knowledge, on the one hand, and explanatory in terms of different types of knowledge, on the other.
