INTELLECTUAL INTUITION IN KANT

Abstract

The only human understanding has two ways of exercise that are the intelligence and the reason. The intelligence knows by means of evidence, mostración or intellectual intuition, which is an immediate and direct knowledge. The reason knows by means of demonstration - deducción-inferencia, which is an indirect and mediate knowledge. We know for intellectual intuition the essence of the sensitive things and the first concepts and beginning of the being. Specifically we know for intellectual intuition the first philosophical, moral and mathematical beginning. The empirical intuition is the beginning of any empirical demonstration and the intellectual intuition is the beginning of any rational demonstration.
