In article the bases of mystical vision of the world, and also a consciousness form within which it is possible are investigated. Consideration of these questions is conducted on the basis of those ideas which were stated on this subject in the Russian religious philosophy. A basic position in the light of which the mystical intuition is considered, the principle of an incommensurability of mystical intuition and science meaning impossibility to express mystical inspirations scientific means is. In article the thought of that is carried out, there are cultural traditions in special degree focused on mystical outlook. The Russian cultural tradition is among those. Its characteristic feature causing attention to a mysticism subject is rooting of knowledge not in practical activities of the person as it is approved in school philosophy, and in integrity of life for the sake of which only and its cognitive activity makes sense. On the basis of the analysis of ideas of the Russian philosophers three main forms of consciousness in which there can be a mystical intuition are defined. The religion, philosophy, art belong to their number. In article it is noted that philosophical intuitions which as it was noted, can include mystical experience of the world, quite often advance the time. Thanks to it they stimulate scientific knowledge, setting that horizon to which the science can aspire, but to reach which she by its nature isn’t fated. Aspiring to this horizon, the science formulates the ideas able to have not only especially title, but also the world outlook sense connecting them with new cultural circumstances.
