 Although intuitive cognition is possible for an intellect, Auriol, in contrast to William Ockham, nevertheless denies that we experience intuitive cognition in this life. Because the intellect of the wayfarer (viator — the person in this life) is dependent upon the senses and their cognition of particulars, Auriol denies that we can have (or at least that we can know that we have) intellectual cognition with the direct and present, ocular-like cognition that is characteristic of intuitive cognition. Auriol says: “Thus each of these cognitions should be posited within intellect, although we do not experience intuitive cognition in this life because of its conjunction with sensory intuition” (trans. Pasnau 2002, pp. 210–11, n. 121.) Intuitive intellectual cognition is reserved for the angels and for the blessed in heaven, unencumbered by bodily senses. All of our intellectual cognition in this life is characterized by the discursivity and mediacy that is the mark of an abstractive cognition.
