This study focuses on the essence of the interaction between rational and irrational knowledge in ensuring the effectiveness of human activity, as well as the integrative role of their coexistence. It explores how rational and irrational knowledge influence activity from the perspectives of psychology, philosophy, and cognitive sciences, and offers an in-depth analysis of this dialectical relationship based on modern academic literature. The findings demonstrate that the integration of these types of knowledge plays a crucial role in maintaining intellectual and emotional balance in human activity.
