The article is a study devoted to the development of the concept of the philosophical matrix as a system of categories of pure reason. The author proposes a new approach to understanding the philosophical system of categories by putting forward unambiguous comparative concepts that serve as the basis for natural sciences. While the foundations of specific sciences are the concepts of “practical reason”, the author finds the categories of “pure reason” to be the foundations of philosophy, understood as “knowledge of the universal”. The article shows that relying on the senses and the concepts of “practical reason” allows for the verification of knowledge, while their generalization, removed from knowledge obtained empirically, gives categories of “pure reason”, which are accepted as the building material of the matrix. In this way, the author proposes a new system of philosophical categories that describes the fundamental aspects of human reasoning and its interaction with the world. At the same time, the categories of the philosophical matrix are not related to such ambiguous classificatory concepts as space, time, being, existence, consciousness, and others. The article draws attention to the fact that the matrix can be used not only to analyze philosophical theories but also to develop new concrete scientific approaches, for example, for the intellectual development of children. In addition, the article suggests the possibility of applying the philosophical matrix in other areas of the humanities, including psychology, linguistics, and sociology. As a result of the conducted research, the human intellect is divided into three ascending stages, designated by me in the following words—reason, mind, and wisdom, with the subsequent use of these concepts in philosophy and other fields of knowledge.
