1. Intuition
How does it work, how does it not
work & how can we support it with
other WoK’s.

2. Definition
• Knowledge or belief obtained neither by
reason nor by perception.
• Instinctive knowledge or belief
• A hunch or unjustified belief

3. Three different
types • Core intuition:
- Our most essential intuitions about, life & basically
everything.
• Subject-specific intuition:
- Intuitions in several areas of knowledge, such as
science & ethics.
• Social Intuition:
- Our intuitions about other people. That is what we
are going to focus on

4. When do we use our
intuition? • Intuition plays a big role in our everyday life
• When reasoning is used
• .( we use our intuition when we use perception)
• So the both depend on intuition. That means
we can not have only reason or perception
without our intuition
.

5. How much can we rely on our
intuition?
• If your intuition matches with reason &
experience as well as others intuitions,
then it’s probably more reliable than if
they do not.

6. Conclusion
• All of our knowledge tools are double
edged.
• Can both contribute to our knowledge
and be an obstacle to it.
• To establish the truth we must test one
against the other and not rely on one
only Ways of knowing.
