From intuition
Language: English  after the Latin
From intuition arises the highest mental acquiescence that one can offer.
Note: the word "intuition" here translates the Latin phrase
hoc tertio cognitionis genere, which is literally "this third kind of knowledge." Spinoza distinguished three kinds of knowledge, the other two being imagination and reason.
