ИНТУИЦИОНИЗМ ЭТИЧЕСКИЙ

Intuitionism, Ethical

A trend in contemporary ethics, especially widespread in Britain. Its main proponents are George Moore, Charlie Broad, David Ross and Alfred Ewing. The intuitionists maintain that good and moral duty are entirely "unique" concepts and that they cannot be determined by, or deduced from, our knowledge of man, society or nature (see Naturalism, Ethical) and can be cognized only by special intuition; the so-called deontological intuitionists hold that moral duty is "self-evident". Intuitionists sever man's moral conceptions from his social convictions, and ethics from the social sciences, depriving it of its scientific basis.

This leads them to the assertion that moral rules have no roots in history and are not associated with society. By claiming that ethical rules are "self-evident", they justify, in effect, the immutability of bourgeois morality.

Интуиционизм

В математике, философское направление, отвергающее теоретико-множественную трактовку математики и считающее интуицию единственным источником математики и главным критерием строгости её построений. На базе И. возник также ряд других направлений в основаниях логики и математики, в частности Конструктивное направление. См. Математический интуиционизм.
