The Features of Education Based on Intuitive Knowledge According to Allamah Tabatabaii

The belief in intuitive knowledge provides a philosopher with a wide and deep insight. Allamah Tabatabai, by raising new and wider issues about this question, has gained a special position. According to him, intuitive knowledge is a basis and foundation for all sciences, without which people will have no access to any kind of knowledge. In his final analysis, he considers knowledge as restricted to intuitive knowledge, and regards acquired knowledge merely rational conventions. Such a belief will have deep effects on the different aspects of education including its features. Therefore, the present paper, in addition to exploring the philosophical aspect of intuitive knowledge, investigates its significances in education. The research method follows an analytical approach and its findings show the successive order of particular features in the education based on intuitive knowledge.
