| But Kirk did not have an entirely negative view of intuition, for he found it to be a distinct part of what Cardinal Newman called the illative sense, "which," Kirk said, "we may vulgarly term the jigsaw-puzzle capabilities of the intellect, a multitude of little evidences falling into place gradually, so that in the end one discovers 'powerful and concurrent reasons' for belief, even though one cannot consciously trace the intricate process by which conviction was brought about. Newman himself makes the connection to phronesis, arguing that the Illative Sense only extends to matters of reasoning about truth what the Aristotelian virtue provides for reasoning about conduct. |
