Summary/Abstract: In all epistemological studies one has to employ, in one way or another, the concepts of “sensuous and rational knowledge,” “empirical and theoretical knowledge,” “essence and phenomenon.” But, unfortunately, the logical relationships of these concepts are not understood unambiguously, which prevents many epistemological issues from being examined with sufficient theoretical clarity. The author of many articles and dissertations on the categories of essence and phenomenon, V. S. Nikitchenko, considers the process of transition from phenomenon to essence in cognition as a transition from sensuous knowledge to rational knowledge.
