Definition:
Intuitionism is the belief that truth can be arrived at through direct, unmediated
awareness of reality. In ethics, intuitionism argues that moral judgements can be
created by an immediate awareness of moral value. In aesthetics, intuitionism is the
view that aesthetic value, or "beauty," is something nonnatural.
