Summary/Abstract: Аpriority knowledge, previous to individual experience, is understood as a set of corrected norms of rationality and fundamental installations determining visual, emotional, and theoretical orientations in the world. In philosophy of science, the precondition and the bases of knowledge are considered a form of apriority knowledge. They determine and guide selection and interpretation of the data in the sense that directs and orders supervision and judgment. In humanitarian knowledge, their originality is revealed on the basis of traditions, rules, and norms of behavior. The successes of cognitive sciences allowed for expansion of the list of “apriority knowledge” forms. Except for philosophical, scientific, religious, and political installations, it is necessary to take into account biolo­gy and psychology of a man. Scientific concepts rather quickly are revealed and controlled. The analysis of different values, social and moral norms, legal and economic distinctions is much more difficult. They become apparent in the process of experience accumulation and comparison of “my” and “someone else’s”.Their justification requires in depth study of the structures of the daily life. Today’s task is to reveal a set of positive anthropologycal constants and ways of interiorizing major human qualities, which should be reproduced at any level of civilization development
