Allama Iqbal and Edmund Husserl on Intuition

A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Among various epistemological sources intuition is one. Intuition is considered by somean infalliblesource as it is immune to err. However, it isan instinctive feeling that is incorrigibly known. It also helps us to acquire knowledge without any immediate conscious reasoning. This paper is an effort to determine the nature of intuition in recent work of experimental philosophy. Effort has been made to explore and examine the essential point of contrast and similarity between the views of Edmund Husserl and Allama Iqbal on the concept of intuition. Therefore, it is hoped that this work will help in advancing philosophical understanding of intuition in structuring epistemology.
