ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses a word about the bogeyword, 'intuition'. To some extent the approach appears to bear distinct resemblances with the work of Edmund Husserl, it must follow that it is being claimed that one possesses a power to "intuit essences". It should be stressed that it is not being claimed that the source of knowledge of philosophical truths is "intuition". Notwithstanding Husserl's philosophical misfortune, if one insists upon some label to refer to the cognitive side of the knowledge event. Or to use Husserl's fine distinction, the noetic side, then 'intuition' could be employed as a term to characterize the cognizing side of the discoveries made in this work, if indeed such a label is really needed. Apart from isolated cases such as Plato, Husserl and Bergson, most Western philosophers have not been considered to be intuitionists. Despite Descartes' self-descriptions, Descartes has not been known as an intuitionist.
