Abstract
The intellectual development of the individual involves more than the assimilation and organisation of conceptual systems. In addition to such structures, whose dynamics are explicitly determined by definitions and combination rules, intellectual activity involves cognitive and problem-solving modalities which are less explicit, though not necessarily more primitive. These are intuitions, that is, forms of immediate cognition in which the justifying elements, if any, are implicit.
