Abstract
There are two important topics which characterise the epistemological point of view of Cusanus. On the one hand we have metaphysical concepts, on the other we find transcendental concepts. Both interfere within the concept of the mental which Cusanus presents to us. One can see this interfering concepts also in his understanding of science which shows a fluctuation between an empirical orientation and that of the 'artes liberales'. The modernity of the epistemological point of view of Cusanus can be estimated quiet well within a comparative approach taking into account the relations of this concept of epistemology to the Kantian "Erkenntniskritik", developed centuries later.
