Text topic: Serbian Philosophic Culture

Text author: Зоран Кинђић

In connection with the polemics between Mihailo Marković and Aleksandar Prnjat the author puts into question the usual distinction beetwen knowledge and faith. He adduces the phenomenon of mystical knowledge as an agument that religion cannot be reduced to faith. Although the suprarational knowledge is very hard to attain because it implies the overcoming of ego, its possibility refutes narrowing of knowledge to mere understanding.
