Od mistycznej intuicji św. Franciszka do kontuicji św. Bonawentury
From Mystical Intuition of Saint Francis towards Saint Bonaventure’s Contuition

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present how Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio approached the mystical intuition of Saint Francis of Assisi. As a professor of the University of Paris, in order to explain the mystical intuition of Saint Francis, Bonaventure used the following theories: the exemplarism theory, the theory of spiritual senses, and his own theory of contuition. The article outlines Bonaventure’s concept of contuition as well as chosen contemporary interpretations of the theory, and then proceeds to evaluate contuition in the light of contemporary philosophy of cognition in the teachings of selected authors. Bonaventure’s contuition is a much underrated concept in the cognition of God theory.
