INTUITIVE evidence, is that which results from intuition. Dr Campbell distinguishes different sorts of intuitive evidence: one resulting purely from intellect, or that faculty which others have called intuition; another kind arising from consciousness; and a third sort from that new-named faculty Common Sense, which this ingenious writer as well as several others contend to be a distinct original source of knowledge, whilst others refer its supposed office to the intuitive power of the understanding.
