For if we will reflect on our own ways of thinking, we will find, that sometimes the mind perceives the agreement or disagreement of two ideas IMMEDIATELY BY THEMSELVES, without the intervention of any other: and this I think we may call INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE. For in this the mind is at no pains of proving or examining, but perceives the truth as the eye doth light, only by being directed towards it.
Izan ere, geure pentsatzeko moduez gogoeta eginez gero, aurkituko dugu batzuetan gogamenak ideia biren arteko adostasuna edo desadostasuna bitartekorik gabe eta berez, beste ezein ideiaren eraginik gabe hautematen duela, eta honi, nire ustez, intuiziozko ezagutza deritzake, zeren honetan gogamenak ez du ezer frogatzen edo aztertzen nekatu beharrik, begiak argia bezala hautematen baitu egia, hartara zuzendu hutsez.
