After explaining the literal meaning of intuition and the evolution of the word's meaning in English and Persian, four common meanings of intuition in philosophy are explained: 1. Platonic or mystical intuition; 2. intuition of the principles of knowledge; 3. Kantian intuition 4. Empirical intuition. Then, the thoughts of the 20th-century thinkers are examined.
