In this paper we analyze the key texts of Russian intuitionists - S.L. Frank and N.O. Lossky - to identify their special understanding of consciousness, knowledge and being. We adopted the hypothesis that the category "we" (or the unity "I and you") is a solution to the problem of the transcendence of the object in its relation to the subject. We showed that the theme "I and you" necessarily arises in the theory of consciousness and knowledge, leads Frank and Lossky to the level of ethics, ontology and religious metaphysics. In the work we considered the phenomenon of intuition as an act of transcending the subject of consciousness "outside" and "inside". In addition to questions of the theory of knowledge, we analyze the understanding of the concept of life by philosophers and the connection between the concepts of "life" and "being".
