noun
intuitionism
Rare philosophical term referring to the doctrine that knowledge or moral truths are grasped by direct intuition. Often contrasted with 直観主義 (intuitionism in logic/mathematics).
See also: 直観主義
倫理学における直覚主義は、善悪は直感的に知られると主張する。
Intuitionism in ethics claims that right and wrong are known intuitively.
直観主義 is more common and typically refers to intuitionism in logic or mathematics (e.g., Brouwer's intuitionism), while 直覚主義 is rarer and often used in ethical or epistemological contexts.
Compound of 直覚 (direct intuition) + 主義 (doctrine, -ism). The exact historical origin is uncertain; it appears as a translation of Western philosophical terms.
