Page "Epistemology" Paragraph 63

Idealists believe that knowledge is primarily ( at least in some areas ) acquired by a priori processes or is innate — for example, in the form of concepts not derived from experience.

The relevant theoretical processes often go by the name " intuition ".

The relevant theoretical concepts may purportedly be part of the structure of the human mind ( as in Kant's theory of transcendental idealism ), or they may be said to exist independently of the mind ( as in Plato's theory of Forms ).
