INTUITION
(l) The immediate knowing or learning of something
without the conscious use of reasoning. (Webster's) (2) In its
cognitive function it is a psychic organ or means to apprehend
reality. It is a synthetic function in the sense that it
apprehends the totality of a given situation or psychological
reality. It does not work from the part to the whole -- as the
analytical mind does -- but apprehends a totality directly in its
living existence. (Assagioli) (3) It is by logic that we prove,
but by intuition that we discover. (Poincare, cy sq.)
The immediate knowing of something without the conscious use of reasoning (Webster's). There is some evidence that intuition does not proceed along analytical lines but apprehend experiences wholistically. "It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover" (Poincaré). (Krippendorff)
