What is the difference between 直観 and 直感?


I'm trying to understand if there is a difference between the two words 直感 and
直観. After looking both words up in a dictionary, the entries both list
"intuition / intuitive". I also tried looking up the words in a Japanese
dictionary, but I was unable to see a notable difference.

What are the correct ways to use these words?

Could this sentence be replaced with 直感的？：

> 情報化が進んだ社会の若者は、かつての若者以上に、希望の実現が困難であることを **直観** 的に知っているように思います。




直観 is a term coined by translation. (In Japanese we call this 訳語)
Specifically, it is used to express German "Anschauung" or English / French
"intuition". In the 1881 dictionary 哲学字彙, English "intuition" and German
"Anschauung" are both translated as 直覚力. But by 1912, the two terms are
distinguished in 英独仏和哲学字彙 which gives English intuition as 直覚 and German
Anschauung as 直観.

Also notice that in the historically spelling (歴史的仮名遣) system, the two words
were spelled differently: 直感 is チョクカン (chokkan) while 直観 is チョククヮン (chokkwan).

直観 is a philosophical term, while 直感 may be more widely used.
