Essay

It is noted that intuition is unconscious activity of the subject, while personal intuitive experience is the unity of unconsciousness and consciousness, the total sum of various intuitive acts. It is proved that true intuition is a moral phenomenon and it has moral nature while false intuition lies "beyond good and evil". So in this context intuition is not only the object of epistemology or aethethics, but the one of ethics. The personal intuitive experience is the specific movement of thought that has three stages: thesis, antithesis and synthesis. The thesis is "primordial" pre-conceptual unmediated moral knowledge. The antithesis is the set of rational conceptual mediations of this primordial knowledge. The synthesis is post-conceptional phase of contemplation of the universal moral constants, where preconceptual and conceptual phases coincide. The goal of intuitive experience is the achievement of the highest "ethical" stage in the hierarchy of moral being, where spiritual personal transformation is reached and moral wisdom and virtuousness in the unity of knowledge and being are realized. Only the virtuous person as the creator of goodness, reaches the "ethical" stage, that is characterized by special state of mind - aleteia (i.e. thruth, openness and transperency) of unity between I and Other.
