The meaning of Intuition in Plato`s works

Alongside with acquired knowledge, in a long run, another type as presence or intuitive knowledge has been introduced. Among the group of philosophers, some believe intuition takes place only by means of intellect, whereas, some hold it as a result of human soul which causes certainty, while the rest are not worthy of trust. Plato is of the philosophers that give accuracy to intuition, but always this question has been raised by the philosophers after him that the intuition, in his opinion, was of rational or mystical kind. With reference to the works of Plato and extracting the characteristics of his intuition and comparing it with those of mystical schools and religious experiences, this assumption is verified that it would be of the mystical. However, the opponents of this opinion express their own strong reasons.
