A rapid, unconscious thought process. In
philosophy, intuition is that knowledge of a
concept which does not derive directly from
the senses. Thus, we may be said to have an
intuitive idea of God, beauty, or justice.
The concept of intuition is similar to
Bertrand Russell's theory of knowledge by
acquaintance. In both cases, it is contrasted
with empirical knowledge.
