Abstract
Intuition and Intuitional Knowledge in Avicenna’s Philosophy Intuition (hads) is one of the central concepts of Avicenna’s theory of epistemology. The importance of the concept is based on its function in the process of acquiring the intellectual knowledge. In this context, the intuition concept has been defined as (i) a way of acquiring knowledge which is counterpart of thinking, (ii) a faculty whose degree is determined by the humor and moral purity of one who intellects, (iii) an intellective conjunction and divine emanation. The certainty of the intuitional knowledge is derived from the power of intuitive faculty as its basis. The “intuitions” are included in frame of “the most definite knowledge that must be accepted” in Avicenna’s classification of propositions
