Intuition (Its Nature and Uses in Human Experience)

Hope K. Fitz, Ph.D. is a Professor of Philosophy at Eastern Connecticut State University. Professor Fitz received her Ph.D. in Asian and Comparative Philosophy. She has written numerous articles and presented many papers to scholarly associations and institutions. As an Asian and Comparative philosopher, her research and writings deal with both Western and non-Western philosophical traditions. An article of hers which was recently published has to do with Immanuel Kant's Categorical Imperative or Moral Law. Professor Fitz's interest in Gandhi's views of non-violence was instrumental in her efforts to establish a Peace and Human Rights Committee at her university. In order to further her efforts for peace, Professor Fitz intents to undertake research concerning the Jain non-violent way of life. More than any other tradition, the Jains practice their beliefs involving non-harm and compassion.
