The book explores the often misunderstood concept of intuition in philosophy and mathematics, challenging the notion that it is merely an unexplainable belief. It argues for a coherent understanding of mathematical intuition as essential for acquiring knowledge, distancing it from mystical interpretations. By engaging with the ideas of philosophers like Edmund Husserl and drawing on Kantian principles, the author aims to clarify this concept, asserting that intuition is not a mysterious faculty but a fundamental aspect of mathematical understanding.
