SUMMARY
In the paper «Cognitive basis of military strategy: Kant and Clausewitz» was raised a question concerning possible correlations between transcendental philosophy of I.Kant and a project of military theory of C.von Clausewitz. Was elaborated an overview of modern sources related to this question, in the course of which was stated that opinions of the researchers on this problem written both by military specialists and philosophers have superficial character and do not reflect complexity of relations of Clauzewitz’ theory of war and Kantian transcendental philosophy. It was ascertained that C. von Clausewitz replicates Kantian transcendentalism in the following questions: evaluating role of strategic intelligence and military history; absolutist approach to the definition of war, understanding of total war, narrowing of the number of waging war to the decisive armed clashes.C. von Clausewitz follows the I.Kant’s transcendental rationalism building his own system not being based on the practical experience, but on the pure theory, as a result of rationalistic speculations. This approach caused formation of the academic school of military science in Germany, which entailed fatal consequences during World wars in Europe in the XXth century.
