Abstract: Abstract Intuition is the Cinderella of social science, associated with sub-rational unstructured thought, devoid of logic or rules. This has also gained lexical authority. Intuition has been defined as ‘immediate apprehension by the mind by sense or by senses without the intervention of reasoning; direct or immediate insight, an act of intuition separate from logic’ (Oxford Shorter Dictionary, vol. I, p. 1407).
