Summary/Abstract: in this paper we begin with the notion that there is unjustified neglect regar ding the significance of the term intuition, as well as of other concepts that are designated as irrational. This notion derives mostly from the point of sci entific empiricism, within which there is a potential for turning to scientism. Coming from the corpus of postmodern ideas, a different critique comes up, which we will not deal with here. as an example of the first point of view, we have singled out the concept of “neural naturalism,” whose contempo rary representative is Paul Thagard. in accordance with the theory of mind and brain identity, he explains “moral intuitions” as examples of emotional awareness. The notion of mathematical platonicism, in this paper, depicted by Penrose’s (Roger Penrose) ideas, is completely benevolent both to intui tion and to the experiences of an unsurpassed “sudden spontaneity”, seeing them not as initial hypothesis, but as complete scientific solutions. a review of the relationship between intuition and personal identity, as well as of the renewed significance of Peirce’s theory of abduction, is in function of further justifying the attitude of the heuristic potential of the term intuition – howe ver understood, as well as the notion of the complementarity of the non-dis cursive and discursive.
