Intuition - Insights from Herman Dooyeweerd
Intuition is knowledge that is not analytical. Some tacit knowledge (Polanyi) is intuition. This page has yet to be written =====. However, what follows is the Volume IV index entries for Dooyeweerd's discussions of intuition, so that readers might study Dooyeweerd's understanding of it for themselves. The four volumes of his New Critique, to which this an index, may be accessed online at:
A plain text version of each volume is available.
Index Entries for Intuition
This summarizes what Dooyeweerd said about intuition, extracted from Volume IV, the Index, of Dooyeweerd's New Critique of Theoretical Thought (NC) under that entry and 'intuitive knowledge'. I then themed them. For each one, I give the page and volume of where this is spoken about in NC. It contains Dooyeweerd's own ideas and View of Others.
Bold shows Dooyeweerd's ideas.
Italics shows ideas of others that he is arguing against.
