Abstract
In the article, there is given authorial analysis of the relation between the rational and irrational in the public consciousness in one of possible aspects " social-informational. The author substantiates a possibility of a social-informational approach to understanding the rational and irrational, according to which the rational is mainly the external for the subject information about something (and, correspondingly, the irrational is the internal for the subject information about something). The author considers the relation between the rational and irrational as a mutually approaching process initiated by the subject according to its needs. This connection results in diffusion of the internal and external information; that is, formation of new information (concept). This process is one side of the social activity of the subject. To describe this process, one needs to use the complementarity principle.
