Intuition and Rationality in MCDM

Abstract

rationality. While agreeing with most of his arguments and conclusions, I differ concerning some fundamental assessments or tacit assumptions of this paper: that the experiential side of our mental life “appears every bit as important as the analytic/deliberative side ”- we shall see below that it is, in some aspects, at least ten thousand times more important; and that the binary classification affect versus reasoning is complete – we shall see below that the trinary classification emotion (affect) versus intuition versus rational reasoning is much more adequate. The fundamental importance of intuition is usually overlooked today, for some historical reasons we shall explain below; but intuition is the source of our meta-theoretical assumptions about truth and of our most innovative ideas and, as such, cannot be neglected. The paper presents recent theories and results concerning intuition and knowledge creation, together with conclusions implied by them for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM).
