Intuição, heurística e insight

uma aproximação preliminar

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

This article aims to provide an introductory analysis on the concepts of sensible intuition, heuristic intuition and insight, usually used interchangeably on the common sense. We want to present the different contexts or philosophical perspectives they are included. In the history of philosophy, the subject of intuition presented itself among the Greeks, medieval, in modernity in Romanticism, German Idealism and especially in what might be called intuitionism. Especially in the German philosophical context is where psychology itself developed in its infancy and especially the Gestalt, a psycho-philosophical current that was the scene of the development on the Insight´s concept. Clearly, psychic phenomena and epistemological issues that still continue to worry the man in search of knowledge and self-knowledge to have a phenomenal field in common, we still have a compartmentalised view of knowledge and had our imagination castrated by our current educational molds. These concepts seem to pierce the constituencies of academic disciplines and conventional research methods and scientific production. Moreover, intuition, or more specifically the heuristic intuition would be behind the great scientific discoveries and philosophical foundations of the nature, society and the world, without ever have become a central object of our attention. For these reasons, further research on these concepts is necessary, promising a rich environment for philosophical inquiry.
