Summary/Abstract: The author claims that there are satisfactory reasons for recognizing most of the philosophical disciplines as the strictly scientific disciplines. In order to prove that it is sufficient to consider the fact that each of the philosophical sciences (ontology, epistemology, ethics and others) has its particular well-defined subject; it has specific for itself the research method; it has also strictly defined objectives to be achieved. Furthermore, the knowledge of philosophical sciences is the inter-subjectively communicative and intersubjectively verifiable knowledge. It should be stated that a specific for philosophical researches, the methodological type of science (being distinguished due to its main objective) – contrary to the axiomatic, nomological, idiographic and axiological – the author calls as sapiential.
