Relevance. Intelligence as a complex phenomenon and the mental property of a person is studied in various interpretations, in the social and humanitarian discourse. The works of philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, cult urologists, psychologists, teachers and representatives of other sciences are devoted to the issues of the essence, structure, functional and activity characteristics of intelligence. The interdict capillarity and systemic complexity of the phenomenon of intelligence raises the question of the relationship and conjugation of this concept with the current level of development of psychological knowledge within the framework of modern scientific rationality. The disclosure of the psychological properties of intelligence makes it possible to objectively cognize its social and subjective nature. Materials and methods. The correlation and integration of knowledge about intelligence as a subjective quality and the quality of a person is manifested in the conjugation of modern psychological scientific rationality. The study of psychological knowledge about intelligence is carried out through the consistent and complex application of axiological, activity, systemic, subjective approaches and modern concepts in the philosophy of science. To consider and build an objective picture of psychological knowledge about intelligence in modern scientific rationality, a systematic and analytical method, synthetic and analog studies, a deductive method and a method of conceptualization, abstraction and generalization are applied. Results. Knowledge of the psychological characteristics and features of the functioning of intelligence as a dynamic, emotional, intellectual and value phenomenon from the standpoint of post-non-classical scientific rationality allows us to consider it as a complex self-developing system inherent in a certain social subject and being a product of the development of culture. Discussions and Conclusions. The modern development of psychological knowledge indicates that today psychology considers various phenomena and complex psychosocial systems. As for the phenomenon of intelligence, its characteristics, from the standpoint of post-non-classical scientific rationality, are intellectuality, dynamism, communicativeness, subjectivity, activity and value-semantic properties and qualities that interact and are realized in a complex social environment, functioning in their systemic totality.
