Standing upon the methodological bed-rock of the author’s metaphysical phenomenalism, and reasoning in the tideway of analytical tradition of logical empiricism, the author synoptically presents the key issues of gnoseological definition of intelligence in their correlation to the theory of experience, knowledge, knowing (and its purpose), and also rationality, with due emphases laid upon them by contemporary relevant philosophical problems of individual knowing dynamics reckoned in. On the base of the introduced tentative definition system for respective notions, the fundamental fragmentedness is substantiated to be attributed to knowing by intelligent knowing entities (essences), as well as the metaphysical and the gnoseological content of the notion of rationality is elucidated therewith. The general conceptual vistas of theoretical de-humanization of the structuring principles of knowledge and knowing organization, as outlined in the paper, demonstrate a perspective at further development of a convergent human-machine theory of experience and knowing.
