Intuition 
How does it work, how does it not 
work & how can we support it with 
other WoKs.
Definition 
 Knowledge or belief obtained neither by 
reason nor by perception. 
 Instinctive knowledge or belief 
 A hunch or unjustified belief
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
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 
.
How much can we rely on our 
intuition? 
 If your intuition matches with reason & 
experience as well as others intuitions, 
then its probably more reliable than if 
they do not.

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.
