This study aims at comparative study of classical theory and prototype theory of the categorization. The claim of cognitive linguists, which many concepts simply do not have defining features, originates from difference of the point of view of defining features. Defining features of the categorization not maximum features, that all members of category include, but minimum features, that can satisfy all members of category. And difference of clearness and unclearness of category boundaries comes from difference of the point of view of category division. Clearness of category boundaries comes from the principle of contradiction and the principle of excluded middle and this is the basic logics of category division. But unclearness of category boundaries comes from unusual phenomenons of actual reality. And difference of identity and gradability of value of category members is difference of the point of view to category domain. For example, although the category CHAIR has actual and various chairs in reality, but we recognize them as a one ‘chair’ and same value. But mambers of ‘furniture’, for example, chair, sofa, telephone etc, can be divided as goodness-of-examples or badness-of-examples of the category FURNITURE. If we do not recognize identity of value of category members, we claim, that categorization is impossible. And Prototype theory, that has been proposed as an alternative to classical view, was discarded by E. Rosch. This showed that the prototype theory is hard to admit as incorrect theory for categorization. So, classical Theory and Prototype Theory are not mutually exclusive, but complementary theories. we suggest that it is necessary to recognize and accept the classical theory and the prototype theory for categorization
