Abstract
The paper treats the topic of intuition from two points of view. The first one is the approach of the dual-process theory of reasoning and rationality (Kahneman, Stanovich, Evans) where the intuition is considered as one type of heuristics and situated close to the field of biases and fallacies.
The second one is the standpoint of the theory of abductive inference and the mode-based reasoning. Seen from this point intuition is placed in the field of creative thinking.
Both views have in common the idea of the fallibility of the knowledge. This fallibility is the challenge for the standard philosophical conception of intuition.
