Q&A: Some Disagreements, the End of Analytic Ability — Intervention of Intuitive Ability?
Some Disagreements, the End of Analytic Ability — Intervention of Intuitive Ability?
Question
Hi,
Is there a place where a decision is made intuitively, which would not necessarily be reached analytically, and that does not mean it is incorrect? Because logic does not provide a clear-cut answer.
For example:
A person with high intellectual and emotional intelligence may feel that someone else is angry with him. When he explains this logically to a person with low emotional intelligence (who doesn’t pick up on such things) but high intellectual intelligence (who relies only on logical analysis, which is of course itself based on intuition), there will be no unequivocal logical conclusion for either side (angry / not angry), but that does not mean they are both mistaken. And the one who chooses neither side (because there is no decisive conclusion) has no chance of being right, because there is no function that says “neither” out of the two, so he will be forced to choose not on the basis of logic. Moreover, logic says that if he does not choose, he certainly will not be right.
Or for example, logic indicates that quantum theory does not fit the regularity according to which logic operates, but the other senses (which are also based on intuition) perceive that it is realized, contrary to logical reasoning. Logic instructs us to rely to some extent on the other senses, so that it itself can function. Otherwise, logic will not be able to perceive anything at all (there will be nothing to analyze).
In addition to the question asked, I would be glad to know whether you have a detailed article on this topic.
Thank you!
Answer
I don’t understand the question. There is no competition between logic and intuition. Logic draws conclusions from intuitive insights.
