Intelligence as Intuition

Abstract

Intelligence intuits by employing the same immediately given mental content with which the psyche feels and consciousness senses. The psyche feels its own feeling without distinguishing anything objective from its sensibility, whereas consciousness is certain of the being of what it senses without thereby apprehending that sense-certainty is a product of mind. By contrast, intuiting intelligence apprehends the same manifold comprising feeling and sensation but relates to it immediately as both a subjective and an objective determination.
