Intuition

Intuition is one of the most useful capacities we, humans, have. It works quickly and reliably, and transcends the intellect. But where exactly does intuitive knowledge come from? Is it the brain or the heart? There is also the question of why we should think of intuitive insight as knowledge. Could it not be simply our subjective guess? In this Philosophy Salon, we will look at intuition as both something basic and miraculous, and wonder whether it could be our inner light.

Doors open at 18:45 and close at 19:10. Please be on time! We won't be able to accommodate attendees arriving after 19:10.

The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons are organized by Anya Farennikova, a philosopher of mind based in Amsterdam. We dive deep into beliefs and ideas, dive out, and have fun along the way!
