It seems like Kantian/Heideggerian intuition.
Jud:
Hi Henk
No, "intuition" doesn't exist - only the intuiter - the intuiting human
holism exists.
Having the notion of "Heideggerian intuition" is simply the human holism
in the existential modality [existing in the manner of...] of "having the
notion of Heideggerian intuition".

Intuition functions in a certain way - and
uses the senses as an instrument.
Jud:
No, the INTUITER - the INTUITING human holism functions in a certain way
and exists using its senses as an instrument with the help of which it can
continue
intuiting.

Henk
There is intuition, as there is thinking -
intuitus vel conceptus, as Heidegger says.
Jud:
There is a human holism which at times cognises by employing fresh (ready to
hand)
memory, and there is the same human holism which at times thinks or
cognises employing partly
remembered, half forgotton fragments of memory, which when "bundled" provide
a viewpoint upon which some endevour can be intitiated or abandoned. We
refer to the sacond form of thinking as: "intuition."

Henk
Not unlike Heidegger's modes of being.
Jud:
Yes, I prefer "modes of existing" for being gets confused with "Being" with
horrific consequences for philosopy.
Henk
BTW, I completely agree with Jud that Being
is an ontological concept.
There is no Being-of-an-X as such. Being of
an X as such is Nothing, following Heidegger.
Being-as-such is mere ontotheology.
The question remains what the status is of
the undifferentiated X that is "registered",
to borrow Jud's term.
Jud:
The X that is registered is the "self" as a sensing organism [one of the
names we you when referring to the human holism).
Heidegger maintains that it is Nothing but
not a nihil absolutum.
Jud:
There is no catagorisation of "nothing" possible." "Nothing" is an absolute
which does't exist even as an absolute.
