The article examines the basic positions and significance of Henri Bergson’s philosophical teaching; presents the analysis of the basic differences between the reasoned and intuitive methods of cognition in philosophy; identifies the main priority features of intuition as a method of cognition relevant in modern science and practice. The authors consider intuition from the point of view of the theory of integrity in order to investigate the meaning of intuition as a methodological instrument. The “individual intuitive” and “corporate intuitive” knowledge are classified. The article shows wide distribution of the process of individual intuitive knowledge in practical medicine in the form of intuition- reduction and examines some metaphysical aspects of the problem.
