Summary/Abstract: Based on the confrontation of some theologians with Rahner’s connection of theological and philosophical principles, especially the Anglo-American theological space, the article investigates the context of Rahner’s theological thinking and defines the place of his theory of knowledge. The paper seeks to identify the basic features of Rahner’s theory of knowledge, to capture its character, and to clarify its philosophical-theological context. It defines its starting points, describes its basic structure, and defines basic concepts. I conclude that Rahner’s theory of cognition has the integral character of current humanistic theories of cognition.
