İBN SÎNÂ EPİSTEMOLOJİSİNDE BİR BİLGİ KAYNAĞI OLARAK "SEZGİ".

In almost all epistemologies, intuition is one of the most discussed issues with regard to its value. Intuition, in its most general meaning, is a 'direct comprehension'. What brings intuition to that disputatious point is this statement of 'direct'. Statement of 'direct' is while sometimes used as a contrary to the rational and empirical knowledge, sometimes used -as if in Avicenna- in the meaning of velocity and reliability of rational and empirical knowledge. In the former, because either rational knowledge or empirical knowledge is not relied, intuition is put forward or it's advocated that those which are difficult to obtain by means of reason and senses can be obtain only by means of intuition that is thought as a new source of knowledge. In the latter, intuition is not a source of knowledge and takes place in the group of empirical knowledge. The artical is about the analysis of these subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
