Intuition

From Wikipedia:
Intuition in philosophy

In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, intuition is one of the basic cognitive faculties, equivalent to what might loosely be called perception. Kant held that our mind casts all of our external intuitions in the form of space, and all of our internal intuitions (memory, thought) in the form of time.

Intuitionism is a position in philosophy of mathematics derived from Kant's claim that all mathematical knowledge is knowledge of the pure forms of the intuition.

Intuitionistic logics are a class of logics, devised and advanced by Arend Heyting and Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer and more recently by Michael Dummett, to accommodate intuitionism about mathematics (as well as anti-realism more generally). These logics are characterized by rejecting the law of excluded middle: as a consequence they do not in general accept rules such as disjunctive syllogism and reductio ad absurdum. Intuitionism is a form of constructivism.

A situation which is or appears to be true but violates our intuition is called a paradox (a paradox can also be a logical self-contradiction). An example of this is the Birthday paradox.

A few systems act in a counter-intuitive way. Attempts to change such systems often lead to unintended consequences.




when i think of intuition i think of it as the light bulb coming on in your head. you don't know how you got to it, there was no reasoning, the thought just comes.

my dictionary defines intuition as "direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension."

that definition sounds a bit strong for me. for some reason i also associate guessing with intuition.....because well at least for me...my intuitive thoughts aren't always correct...or maybe those thoughts weren't actually intuitive.

what is intuition? how did we get it? how in the hell does it work?

I have a draft of a rough guess. Mind is the sixth sense. We all share it like we share the visual field and other senses. But conditioning gives us some feeling of a core, based on associations in our always updating and re-organizing (defragmenting) memory bank. This is the subconscious. All senses stored, including mind. But behind this veil we are sharing the same mindspace. There is no individuals, and by stilling our conscious mind we somehow allow the stillness and stop the mindwaves. As our mind is in beginner mode, empty and free, information from the collective unconscious arises. Patterns emerge, some meaningful others not. Subconscious and unconscious knows no time. All is now there. Ever get the feeling of having all feelings, thoughts you've ever thought or felt towards a person manifest at the same time, almost lurking like a endless chain in the back of your being? Bet you have with persons tripping. It made tripping with my brothers a hard experience when I had to walk through my shadow. It was tangled so heavily up in them.

intuition (which roughly translates to "to look into") does not mean an absolute truth that you have come across. Rather, it is when you truly know something, because you can feel it. It does not require faith, only attention and nourishment. Of course the intuition of one person may be polar opposite from his brother, but the feeling they both get is the same. Maybe not an absolute or universal truth, but a truth for you, or at least a "drive," a reason to live.. which is what I would associate closest with truth.

It is when you tap into an idea that is bigger than your individual experience. Much like an epiphany, however I would offer the analogy of an epiphany being an orgasm of intuition.

"Much like an epiphany, however I would offer the analogy of an epiphany being an orgasm of intuition."

Good stuff.

Full acceptance opens the channels fully. It's a hard move to make for me without melting.

I say intuition consists of the free-form interaction among the whole of your accumulated observations. This includes everything from childhood on. Its quality depends on the accuracy of your knowledge about your world. So, for instance, if one spent the time between ten years of age and twenty-five getting blind on whisky, one's intuition might not hit the mark every time.
