Summary/Abstract: The paper gives a fragmental review of some basic attitudes of Kvirin Vasilj about the cognitive theory issues. It points out his criticism of the philosophical tradition, particularly that of Kant, but also of other philosophers and his own solutions. As opposed to the majority of those who discussed the problem of cognition, Vasilj emphasizes the importance of the intellectual intuitions as the bridge between sensual observation and notion. He also understands the notion of experience in a different way than Kant. Besides the analytic and synthetic cognition he also speaks about the systolic cognition. He strictly differentiates ontology from metaphysics and understands it as a standpoint for the cognitive theory. Ontology is for him transcendental physics.
