Summary:The paper discusses the concept of distribution of ideas and, accordingly, of knowledge, which can be found in the early modern metaphysics. This concept was not completely developed and was overshadowed by the concept of objectivity. An attempt to formalize the distributivity is made. The role played by the idea of distributive knowledge in pre-Kantian metaphysics is demonstrated with a special attention to Leibniz's doctrine. We argue, that the events of communication between individuals are based on points of distributive knowledge.
Straipsnyje analizuojama idėjų ir žinojimo distributyvumo sąvoka, aptinkama ankstyvoje Naujųjų laikų metafizikoje. Ši sąvoka nebuvo iki galo išplėtota, ją užgožė objektyvumo sąvoka. Pateikiamas bandymas formalizuoti distributyvumą ir jo savybes. Atskleidžiamas distributyvus pažinimas iki-kantiškoje metafizikoje, ypatingą dėmesį skiriant Leibnizo mokymui. Straipsnio autoriai teigia, jog individų bendravimo įvykiai yra paremti distributyvaus pažinimo taškais.
