Intuition is our capacity for direct knowledge, for immediate insight without observation or reason. Daniel Kahneman, Princeton University psychologist notes, “Intuitive thinking is perception-like, rapid, and effortless.
Sometimes called a
hunch or gut feeling, it is defined as convincing, hasty feelings whose origins
cannot be explained by the individual himself. It comes from the latin word
“intuir,” which means knowledge from within. While we could think of it as
being brought about by an internal force, our gut feeling actually starts with
a perception of an external factor, say intonation or facial expression so brief
that we are actually unaware that we have noticed it.
Encyclopaedia of
Britannica defines Intuition, in
philosophy, is the power of obtaining knowledge that cannot be acquired either
by inference or observation, by reason or experience. As
such, intuition is thought of as an original, independent source
of knowledge, since it is designed to account for just those kinds of knowledge
that other sources do not provide.
I think that intuition is like an reponse from part of brain which is not under our control but it will observe everything and analyse it to give an apt reponse for the current scenario. Is it the same what is explained above?
