ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER – BERGSONIAN INTUITIONISM FORERUNNER

Summary/Abstract: Our article discusses the kinship of two thinkers of reference in the universal philosophical landscape, who lived in different eras and belonged to emblematic cultures for European philosophy. Both philosophers analyse intuition, but each understands something different by it and relate differently to it, from the perspective of their own systems of thought. Nevertheless, in the view of both thinkers neither reason, nor intelligence is paramount, but intuition - both seeing in it a wonderful process by which we understand our essence, and the essence of the universe. We find this approach particularly interesting and of great significance to contemporary philosophical research, and for the contemporary man obsessed with the intellect, intuition may be a chance of rescue.
