Description
Calling for a revival of intellectual intuition in metaphysics long after its banning by Kant, Kenneth Rose overcomes the forgetfulness of being through contemplative ontology.
Rose argues for the reinstatement of intellectual intuition in metaphysics long after its banning by Kant. His claim is not merely the conclusion of a thought-experiment or of an exercise in conceptual analysis. It is the result of the contemplative recognition of being with a meditatively concentrated intellect: nous in Greek and buddhi in Sanskrit. Recognizing intellectual intuition as a long-neglected faculty of philosophical insight, Rose shows how it can result in an immediate, intuitive discerning of being. He discusses how being parcels itself out into the intellectual forms providing the underlying nonphysical arrangement of the physical and mental worlds.
By reviving the use of intellectual intuition in metaphysics, Rose draws upon historical sources across multiple Asian and Anglo-European philosophical schools. This is a work of contemplative constructive philosophy that breaks down divisions between science, philosophy, and religion and between diverse cultures and divergent worldviews.

Reviews
-
This book presents a wide-ranging, well-argued, and daring suggestion of how to revive intellectual intuition. Rose does much more than to present a theoretical suggestion. He outlines a way of actually practicing intellectual intuition that moves us beyond scepticism into a pluralist view of metaphysics. What ensues is an experiential reverence for the generosity of being.

Kenneth Rose boldly reclaims intuition as an intellectual faculty central to contemplative metaphysics. His scholarly command of a wide range of sources and clear explication contribute a fresh, informed approach to problems of ancient origin. He makes evident intuition's resources for meeting the challenges of a complex and pluralistic contemporary world, ultimately connecting to pursuit of wisdom in any age.
