Knowledge obviousness and non-obviousness in terms of William Occam's epistemology

The present article gives coverage to conditionality of the modern range of problems of correlation between the phenomena of ''belief'' and ''knowledge'' from a perspective of the background (contradiction between realism and nominalism), as well as role and significance of the issue of ''existence'' of the non-existent thing conditioned by the irrational factor. The issue of possibility / impossibility of correlation between the reality and the abstracted and intuitive knowledge is considered. The reasons according to which different nominalistic and realistic interpretations of universals can only be conditionally called contradictory have been analyzed. In connection with the above-stated, the issue of possibility / impossibility of a single subject of all science was considered, as the nominal-real has a direct relevance to this; also the intentionality of cognition was analyzed, which in a certain way is related with abstracted and intuitive knowledge. The problem of existence of the non-existent thing is considered, it has irrational nature not only in terms of nominalism. Justification of the noniden-tity of universals and substances by means of impossibility of the latest to be part of utterances / reasoning once again indicates the necessity of parallelism of the phenomena: language - reality. Elements of the phenomenological method are used in research. According to the causes analysis various nominalistic-realist interpretations of the universal can be called inconsistent only conditionally; the parallelism of phenomena ''language - reality'' is determined by nonidentity of universals and substances. As knowledge is not an autonomous unchangeable system, there is a need to analyze the process of formation and further development of syllogistic reasoning. The fundamental problem of reality, not relevant to the creation, actualizes directly the phenomenological aspect of knowledge. This study is relevant in terms of the philosophy of science and theory of cognition; historical parallels specified in this article make it possible to explain the grounds of the inconsistence of the nominal-real in terms of the history of philosophy. The considered issue can also be of interest from the ontology discourse point of view, as the discourse of knowledge is constituted in a certain manner and a means of its expressing is a logical component, whereas non-logical components provide other means of discourse organization.
