Clarification/Follow-up by Dark_Crow on 12/01/05 5:28 pm: Since it is difficult to make sure whether a particular habit is inherited or is due to infantile training and tradition, I shall employ the word "cosmic intuition" to cover both cases. Intuition, in fact— is a disposition, that is, as some general principle working in a man’s’ nature which determines how he will act, in the proper sense of the word, an inherited disposition. Clarification/Follow-up by tonyrey on 12/01/05 6:28 pm: I share your belief in intuition, DC, but no one seems to have explained its nature and origin. Perhaps this indicates that the mind and its existence are inexplicable...

Reasoning can not be used to define goodness for all people. Far too many intellectuals are missing out on the understanding of life and the enjoyment through ‘binding’ themselves to Reason, as the only source of knowledge, at the neglect of cosmic intuition. I need a context to understand goodness. |
