I. Kant on <I>knowledge</I> and <I>beliefs</I>
The article deals with I. Kant’s definitions of notions which are the most important for European culture. Knowing and believing proved to be assessment categories reflecting credibility of different judgments - theoretical and practical. Kant counters the doctrinal belief that claims the theoretical knowledge of its objects with the practical belief which, in turn, comprises pragmatic, moral and religious beliefs.
