The division between thinking and cognition

Hello Rabbi
In his book Truth and Unstable, the rabbi distinguishes between human thinking – which the rationalists have exalted – and which has been proven to be a false source of knowledge of reality, and intuition, which is essential to all empirical research. The rabbi defined intuition as a field close to knowledge, like sensory knowledge, except that it is an immediate knowledge that does not pass through the senses. Therefore, unlike rationalistic thinking, which does not teach us about reality, intuition does.
But how do we know what cognitive intuition is and what thinking is? Wasn’t Aristotle’s idea that the speed of falling objects is according to their weight intuitive in his eyes? Isn’t belief in God, which the Rabbi defines as a possible intuition in the first book of the trilogy, similar to the Aristotelian idea?
Thank you very much.
