The main objective of this paper is the epistemological ideas of Aniol Dowgird (1776-1835), the prominent Enlightenment philosopher born in Mohilou (Mogilev) district (the east of Belarus). I start with sketching a general historical background of Dowgird's philosophy, which constitutes the first, smaller, part of the paper. In the second, larger part I try to indicate Dowgird's contribution to epistemological realism and point out some problematic moments in this stance.
