The author discusses the intuition’s nature and implementation forms. He denotes human object-transforming activity, mediated by labor, as the basis for its understanding. The author has argued against irrational explanation of human subjectivity’s nature. Based on L. S. Vygotsky and E. V. Ilyenkov’s works he has proposed to understand intuition as form of imagination (universal form of creative reality) unfolding under conditions of live intentionality and thinking.
Keywords: intuition; subjectivity; object-transforming activity; imagination; creativity; thinking; intentionality.
