intuitionist
Knowledge-through-insight believer
An intuitionist holds that knowledge comes primarily through intuition rather than reasoning or evidence.
In philosophy, intuitionism claims that moral truths are self-evident and grasped directly.
In mathematics, intuitionists reject proofs that rely on the law of excluded middle, accepting only what can be constructively demonstrated.
The intuitionist refused to accept the proof by contradiction.
