    Intuitionism is an ethical idea that asserts humans have an innate ability to sense right from wrong, which allows us to discover moral truths. George Edward Moore, a Cambridge philosopher, was a proponent of intuitionism. According to Moore, concepts like "good" cannot be further defined because they are simple and basic notions, just as colors like yellow cannot be fully explained to someone who does not already understand them.

    INTUITIONISM

    Intuitionism

    Is the ethical idea


    which asserts that man has
    an innate capability to sense
    what is right and wrong
    and this sense serves as an
    avenue to discover moral
    truths.
    George Edward Moore or
    GE Moore (1873-1958)
    A Cambridge philosopher and
    one of the proponent of intuitionism.

    According to Moore in his


    principia Ethica “the concept
    ‘good’ cannot be broken down
    into its simplest form because
    it is simple in itself ”.
    “ My point is that good is a simple notion,
    just say as yellow is a simple notion; that,
    just as you cannot, by any manner of
    means, explain to anyone who does not ,
    already know it, what yellow is, so you
    cannot explain what is GOOD.” – GE
    Moore
