Re: Intuition

Ludwig mused:
In my opinion, intuition is a judgement-making process which is neither
guessing nor pure reasoning. It can only be described in terms of "what
it is not". In other words there is no precise definition of intuition.

Wasn't this recognized by Aristotle when the name metaphysics ("after
physics") was given to one of his many books?

The way I heard it, the word "metaphysics" was coined by some
librarian type to indicate those volumes of Aristotle's works which
came "after Physics" in their order on the library shelf!
