Resumen

Este artículo examina la intuición como una habilidad, que guía el enfoque de nuestro trabajo, con una buena intuición que nos guía repetidamente hacia el camino correcto. Se distinguen cinco variedades de intuición, se analizan de forma exhaustiva las diferentes opiniones sobre la intuición en la toma de decisiones judiciales y se propone la idea de una habilidad de localización. Las tres variedades más antiguas de las cinco tienen su origen en Aristóteles; las dos restantes que se analizan son las fases del descubrimiento de Poincaré ―que anticiparon el ejemplo más clásico de intuición judicial―, y, por último, la intuición como familiaridad. El artículo sostiene que la intuición se entiende mejor como un localizador, que indica el área en la que debemos trabajar. Esa idea simple es adecuada para cuestiones difíciles, a diferencia de la influyente visión de la intuición como reconocimiento rápido de la familiaridad. El artículo avanza en la comprensión de la historia de las ideas sobre la intuición en la jurisprudencia y la idea de la buena intuición ―una habilidad de localización, diferenciada del juicio rápido―.
