Abstract
This article analyzes the interconnection between rational and irrational forms of knowledge and their role in human activity from a philosophical and epistemological perspective. Alongside examining the logical foundations and systematic analysis of rational knowledge, it also explores the intuitive, emotional, and culturally experienced aspects of irrational knowledge. The aim of the article is to uncover the epistemological essence of rational and irrational knowledge and determine their place in human activity, decision-making, creative processes, and social development. To achieve this aim, the specific characteristics of rational and irrational knowledge are highlighted based on philosophical literature, historical sources, and contemporary research.
