الْحَدْسِيَّاتُ وَالتَّجْرِبِيَّاتُ وَالْبَدِيهِيَّاتُ وَالنَّظَرِيَّاتُ
Self-evident, experimental, intuitive and inferential cognitions.

A self-evident judgment is recognized upon grasping the relevant terms. Experience joins observations to reasoning; intuition apprehends a connection swiftly; deliberate inference arranges premises to reach a conclusion.

These labels need not refute the three broad sources of knowledge: empirical material may come from the senses while reason establishes or evaluates a broader conclusion.

Feeling heat from one fire is a particular observation. Forming a dependable general claim about heat requires a further warrant. A quick impression should not be conflated with a justified universal judgment.
