Abstract [eng] In this article certainty is investigated as a criterion of the knowledge of reality in attempt to analyse and compare the approaches to certainty through experience, mind and the imperative of responsibility for another person. Main objectives of the study are the following: to discuss the awakening of a theoretical mind in a junction of the appearance of sensual evidence and the evidence of mystery of being; to discuss the philosophical search for certainty guided by the mind, experience and egologics; to reflect over certainty as an imperative of another person. A comparative analysis of philosophical texts might be designated as a particular methodology of this study. A mind, that is searching for a real being beyond the appearance of sensual evidence, should raise a necessary condition of existential decision and its realization: it is not sufficient to only observe the phenomena and model in a field of ideal possibilities – an act of will is required, a mortgage of oneself for the purpose of becoming certain in the highest principles. A purely theoretical, contemplative relation to reality was pushed to periphery by a scientific-technical investigation through unjustified objectification of the world, also by devaluation of personal and active relation. This way a concept of certainty was changed radically, becoming too abstract and reduced. Therefore a post-classical philosophy may be understood partly as a reaction and an attempt to “return to the things themselves”, emerging from the nostalgia for the lost being, as well as an attempt to discover new philosophical approaches to reality itself – to a human being, world and God.
