Intuition And Intellect Are Not At Odds
It is not “anti-intellectual" to affirm intuition. There seems to be a hierarchy within in which intuition is the deepest part of intelligence, not opposed to the intellect.
Is intellect-intuition rational? When rational is not defined as static, mathematical, nonliving form then intellect-intuition can be rational, because evolution moves, it is not stationary, the reason of evolution is attached to living, evolving objects which can then define logic.
Reason probably takes place in the mind-soul and intuition in the Spirit-Will, but since Spirit is at the Zenith of the mind-soul they are part of a whole.
Instinct-intuition is not “prelogical” it is logic itself prior to the intellect seeing it.
Even Socrates exalted reason yet still paid attention to the “daemon” voice inside which he thought was beyond reason. So did Nietzsche---too much.
