Intuition

What is intuition? The term intuition (from Late Latin intuitiō a contemplation, from Latin intuērī to gaze upon) is traditionally used to describe the ability to obtain information from without, foreknowledge, the sixth sense, flash of illumination, abrupt finding of a solution that would normally have to be reached by dint of long inference.

Intuition is an immediate form of knowledge in which the knower is directly acquainted with the object of knowledge. Intuition differs from all forms of mediated knowledge, which generally involve conceptualizing the object of knowledge by means of rational/analytical thought processes.
