| Summary: | This article starts from the hypothesis that religious experience brings a genuine apprehension of reality in a way not otherwise provided. The critical question is to ascertain just what the contribution of religious intuition is to a total philosophy. The important place of the sense of illumination in the great prophets and leaders of Christianity is noted. Its practical value is unquestionable. The validity of intuition is discussed, first with reference to the consciousness of self as real, and secondly in the experience of value-judgments. Intuitions help to complete a coherent body of beliefs. |
